John Doe asked:


I was online checking email when I heard the weirdest sound I’ve ever heard. At first I thought is was one of those banner ads with sound but the sound was coming from the tower (!) and not the speakers.

Witnesses describe the noise as a clicking, like a rotary phone (if you remember them). Or a ticktock, like a mechanical or wind-up toy. Maybe something like a cuckoo clock?

This sound goes for a couple minutes, then the computer just shut down with out warning. The next thing you see is monitor saying “no signal.”

I never even dreamed a computer could make a sound like that. We have no idea what to make of it.*baffled* Basically, everyone was “wtf”….

I run XP Home Edition on a eMachines T3256..

Thanks
