Alright, i try to run game and it works perfect but after 10min game my pc box start to make some strange, lound noise, so i exit from that game. So what i've to do now ?

Does it still shut down? Sound like there is a lot of dirt clogged in the vent. To validate just the possibility, can you please try to clean the CPU fans and vents? It might be all that is causing the problem. If you want help in doing so, then you might want to see this video:

Or read these articles:

Please use it as a final resort if you have to but try the above and see if it helps or not. Good Luck. :)

[InFerect]

so i have fully cleaned my pc and i've same problem again i run game after 10mins strange big sound and after 1min pc automatically shut down. Oh i try to install new game same problem and when i try to compress 1big file with winrar same big sound i even don't wait just stop and after 5min compress again without that sound and later on same sound again

The sound you're hearing is probably the fan on the cpu or the fan on the video card (probably the latter). If so, the shutdown will occur as one of those isn't cooling properly.

 

Have someone play a game on the computer, and when that sound starts, use something like the inner tube from a paper towel roll to find out what fan is noisy.

Ok, there might be many reasons when a computer makes loud grinding noises. Some of them could be:

 

1. A failing hard drive.

2. A dust accumlated fan.

3. A scratched or damaged CD in the CD tray.

 

Lets exempt the first possibility for now and concentrate on the second and third possibility. Given what you said about the fan, I suspect that the fan is dying, and that your computer is overheating. Your first step should be, if you can afford to do so, is to replace the fan (or possibly replace the power supply that contains the fan).

 

Also, you say that you experience the problems after you are ten minutes into the game. Does the game you play require a CD to stream data from? If this is the case, then when the loud noise comes, open the CD drive and take the CD out. See if the computer still shuts down. I know this solution is not very likely but try and see if it helps or not. Also, try Seth's solution first and see if that too works or not. Good Luck. :)

Let us know if you can. Also, try Seth's suggestion before you do buy anything new. Who knows, it may save you from a whole lot of trouble. :)

ok i will

[Dalo Harkin]

Definately sounds like a heat issue - if you take the side of the case off and start windows - leave a game playing and check that the fan on the GPU is turning and also the CPU -

after 10 minutes or so just before it normally crashes - reboot and go into the BIOS and display the temps that the board reports.

i've check where does sound came from so its somewhere here http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/7017/pcid8.jpg but its not fan ( 90 % )

[Dalo Harkin]

It must be the fan on the GPU as there is nothing else around there that would cause it - as the southbridge is passively cooled

[Guest Wolfeymole]

There doesn't look to be a fan on the graphics card as far I can make out Dave.

[Dalo Harkin]

I cannot see the picture from my current location - is it passively cooled?

If there are heat issues from a GPU or CPU, its normally the fan is not working or the heatsink is covered in dust - or the paste under the heatsinks is not doing it's job anymore.

[Dalo Harkin]

Its definately over heating somewhere - you need to use a FAN of some sort - most suppliers do ones that you can 'aim' at components to keep them cool - It will be the Graphics Card or the Southbridge.

Still puzzled about the grinding noise, as they are both passive :confused:

 

I would also move the clump of wires that are over your RAM as that will not be helping
