amijo is flying high
Default why is my new computer howling?

I have a new vaio pentium 3. I love playing scrabble..
hasbro's game.
When I put the scrabble disk in the cd drive..about five minutes after I start playing my computer begins to
ROAR and the cpu useage goes up as high as 70%
I copied the game to C:
and it does the same thing.
why is it sounding like a jet thats about to take
off?
My hard drive is 94% free...
I sure love that scrabble game..but can't stand the roar.
thank you

Default [merge] why is my new computer howling?

Is the noise coming from the CD drive?
I've heard some of those wind up pretty loudly.

If you copied it to C: and the disk is not in the CD drive I would say it is the case fan. Pentium 3 is pretty old technology and I believe the fastest on was 1.26 Ghz with 512k L2 cache which is pretty light for gaming. That would explain the 70% cpu usage. Are you sure it is not a Pentium 4 or Pentium M because you said it is a new laptop I did not think they were using Pentium 3 any more.
