What's That Noise Coming From My Computer?

Paying attention to the various beeps, hums, clicks and whirring sounds that routinely come from your computer is pretty important so you will know when a new sound appears.

Strange or new sounds emanating from your computer can be as benign as interference from a cell phone that's too close to a major indicator that you are about to lose everything (since you haven't gotten around to backing up your junk!)

Listen in as the Data Doctors queue you into all of the sounds that can come from your computer, what they generally mean and what you should do when you hear them!

Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on Facebook .
