It's a pretty new computer, and the inside has been cleaned. Anyway I thought I was hearing a humming noise and I thought the side of my computer was touching my desk so I scooted it over. After doing this I could tell it was my fan because the humming became very audible. I turned my computer off, and started it and it still made the noise. I turned it off again and started it up, now it seems to be ok. Does anyone know what happened?

	the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realize it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.
