suddenly my pc has been real noisey lately and want to know why and if its normal. my cpu usuage goes up to 100 out of no where.
 
run some spyware scans (adaware, spybot, etc) and anti-virus scans. uninstall norton, if you have it, lol. get a better av program, like kaspersky or avg (yes, there are others, and other people can tell you about them).
 
Do yourself a big favor. Right now.
Back up all of your important documents to a CD or DVD. Right now.
Did I say right now?
OK. Before you do anything else. RIGHT NOW.

Is it a clicking noise? Rapid clicking? or a low buzz?

Did he say right now? He meant to say, do it yesterday.

We're both thinking the same thing, your hard drive is dying and what your hearing is either a bearing or a head slapping around. If this is the case, it could account for the OS suddenly cranking up the CPU to 100% to try and read/write to the drive.



It would definitely be helpful to know what kind of sound it is making, when it makes it, and where it sounds like it is coming from.
