Okay, so this has been happening on and off for about two weeks. My computer will suddenly start literally vibrating and there is an awful buzzing sound. I have dual fans (it's a gaming laptop) and after troubleshooting I'm sure that it's my left fan. My computer does not crash, lag, freeze, or have any troubles besides the fan. I have done all I could to eliminate other possible problems -- I defragmented my hard drive and cleared up some space from it as well.
Today, I opened up my laptop and everything seemed to be perfectly fine. I assumed it was dust in the fans so I cleaned them out. After turning it on, it's still making that awful sound. It also occasionally makes a clicking noise. It's usable, but it's just so annoying and I hate dealing with it. Does anyone have any ideas about what might be happening with it? I will probably have to take it to the shop, but I just want an idea of what I might be dealing with here. Do you think the fan is catching on something? It doesn't seem like that would be the problem because when I blew the fan with air it spun fine and didn't seem ot catch on anything. Has anyone else dealt with this? My dad has been a computer engineer in the past and I'm probably going to look at it with him because he knows more than I do about hardware.
