Hi all,
I need some advice. My PC has been giving me all sorts of problems lately. One in particular is that when I power it up there is a rather loud grinding/rumbling noise coming from it. This noise lasts up until the password entry screen appears and then stops. However during use there is a faint rumbling every so often.

I was wondering if anyone has any ideas as to what could be causing this as I can't afford a new system and can't really be without one.

My computer is an Emachines E2230 (a little outdated),
It has an Intel Celeron D Processor running at 2.5GHz,
0.99GB of Ram,
160GB Hard Disk Drive,
A CDR/DVD Combo Drive,
and a DVDR Combo Drive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated because I am a little lacking in the hardware department.
Thank You.
