My desktop computer keeps making a grinding noise!!

hardwire it.

Oh no she DI'nt

I think it wants to take a bath with you.

If you think you are insane now, just wait.

buy a 10$ cable? usb to printer socket.

Not a lot of people enter Romania and never leave.
But a shitload of Romanians leave and never come back.

Put some foam underneath it and bang it on the top

Is this a salad joke?

We're talking about a computer here, right?

?

I've fixed it before following instructions that I found online, but they're not working this time.

I mean, connect it to your computer using a cable, as someone else suggested.

He's not in Romania dipshit. He's the local GLP vee pee N-tard that addresses people with a name like a mental patient. He needs to be banned, the fucker.

Forget trying to use it wirelessly like that for now. Simplify by direct connecting it with a USB cable if you can.

Get a can of air duster, take the side cover off the computer (make sure it's unplugged before you even touch it), take it outside and blast the dirt out of the fan and the rest of the computer with the air duster. Use a strong flashlight so you can see in there really well and get all the dusty stuff out. It will take a little bit of extra effort, if it's really bad.

This is pathetic

You don't know that retard. Am I in Denmark or nah? You
don't know. Eat shit

det er jeg forresten

Have you tried going into control panel - devices/printers and selecting that one as the default?

did you try earplugs? that would be the cheapest fix!

I don't see anywhere I could plug that in on the printer. There's just one plugin thing on the printer and it goes from the printer to the wall outlet.

It's ok, I give up on it for today.

Yes.

That is clockwork low LED fluid. You need to top off all LEDs from time to time.

Seriously backup your data just in case try to locate the sound is it coming from your hard drive or the fan? If its the fan then your pc is likely getting hot and can shut down without notice

If its the hard drive it could fail at any time without notice

Backing up your data to an external drive will save you alot of headaches

get a copy of allll your important datas. then get some sort of "computer nerd" to fix it while you keep your backup safe in your sock drawer!

Ever hear of Google or Youtube? Sheesh...

Actually, that may not be a bad idea. Most manufacturers have great support including how to videos on their products.

Many printers go into sleep mode after non-use for a period of time, it's probably in the printers settings menu and I'm betting that is where the problem is.

You might also want to check your network settings for your home network and make sure the printer is listed there.

Good luck.

I've literally done the same thing for the past 2 hours. Finally gave up and plugged in the USB cord.

THIS! THIS! THIS!

Back up documents, pictures, videos, etc. IMMEDIATELY!!!

I've had a drive go south and I was damn lucky it finally worked on the 100th (or so) reboot and I was able to grab my stuff before it died again.

I thought I was going to lose it all, and that's really not a good feeling!

Now I only keep programs on my new hard drive, and everything else on an external drive, and an old fashioned dvd back up for family pics and videos.

Really - DO IT!

Stop trying to have sex with it would be my best guess.
