What's That Noise Coming From My Computer?

That’s usually how it starts. You hear an unfamiliar noise when you turn on your computer. Or, you may be working along and all of a sudden, your computer stops responding. Most people just ignore either one of these signs that something is amiss. They reboot or ignore the noise.

Good artcle with which I totally agree with. I have several documents which if I ever lost I would go nuts. Although, for the backup process I like Nero's BackItUp utility, specifically the full HDD backup, since it makes a low-level backup of each of my drives which I can restore on a new HDD and continue on like nothing ever happened.

My computer's been making a high pitched noise lately when I turn it on and then for a few minutes afterwards. It's probably a fan getting up to speed, but the noise is so high pitched (like a TV being on in the other room) that I can't figure out which part it's coming from.

Gonna burn any important docs and pics tonight; all my code is subversioned so there's really nothing else I'm afraid to lose.
