Hi. I saw the PC making a go-kart engine sound when I turned it on this morning. After cleaning the whole system, the noise still occurs when powering up, but it disappears once the fans spin faster. I also hear a squealing sound when the machine starts, which makes me think the hard drive might be failing. I’d love to share a video, but the file is large, so anyone with Discord here would be great! Mines aprils_

Turn off your hard drive and then start your computer. Is the sound still present?
