IT Queries: Computer problems answered

My computer makes a noise like an engine and regularly blacks out. What could be the problem?

It sounds like it is a heat related problem. The noise is a defective fan and because heat isn’t being dragged off important components, the computer overheats and shuts down.

You must get this seen to by a computer technician as keeping a computer overheating will eventually damage it and you might lose data. Depending on the age of the computer and the damage already done this will cost between $50 and several hundred dollars.

If the computer’s more than five years you may want to replace it.
