Fans are usually the main source of noise and it's fairly common for them to groan some at bootup after a few years, but as you noted the machine quiets down after a bit. As the fans continue to age though, it's likely that the noise will also become more persistent. Semper Fidelis Ken, I was in diapers 60 years ago, but enlistment was a good event in my life. In particular, it led to me later working at Texas Instruments and meeting my wife. Lately desktop (about 3 years old) has begun to moan and groan rather loudly at initial bootup. This noise goes away by the time the machine actually boots and is ready for use. After that, no unusual sounds and all seems well. After reading about the very inexpensive new HD from Amazon, I'm wondering if that might be a good idea. I "think" I have a complete backup on my new external HD. What would be the procedure for me to install that new Amazon HD and move my backup over onto it.... then be able to "continue to march"? Aside to Josh... I'm now 60 years past my first day in boot camp. Hard to believe!!! * * *
