    Windows 8 showed me a blue screen of death. I honestly did not know they still existed, it's a different shade of blue now though. x.x That was scary but it hasn't happened since, computers are weird sometimes.

    Ugh, my PC started screaming like a Banshee lol. I have to turn it off. Restarted it and so far so good. May be down a day or so if it is something serious though. Will probably have to replace something.

    Gonna be the fan, when you turn the computer on the fan doesn't need to spin a whole lot so it doesn't make much noise but as the computer warms up and the fan is needed more it gets louder. Just don't play any games or do any extensive tasks lol, that would really get it going and wow it would be bad.

    Grease the fan bearing itself or replace it completely but if it's really that bad it might just need to be replaced unfortunately. Just hope it's not a integrated fan... that wouldn't be good.

    It is sounding like it is a different place this time. That is what is scaring me on it this time. Will have to try to clean it again if it gets that bad again. Might anyway after I log off tonight.
