re: Usual giveaway is either more noise or a LOT LESS noise Saturday, May 14, 2005 at 12:11 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kiwi (2212 messages posted) Also more typically for a majority, you don't even know at first that it is heat, just that the PC shuts down suddenly and you don't know why. When it's a psu fan going bad, it's typically a bad bearing, and those make a great deal of ugly noise when they are dying. Of course, my contribution to the thread presupposes that the user is not hearing- disabled, doesn't it? Occasionally, a bearing just gradually binds the fan shaft more and more tightly, so it won't spin up fast enough to cool the psu, let alone to help to exhaust the PC's heated internal air environment. .
