Upon startup the rear fan makes a grinding noise. This eventually settles out. This concerns me as no grinding noise should occur, especially right out of the carton.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi there @Mountaineer2006,
May the Forums be with you! It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I understand that the rear fan is making a grinding sound. I am happy to help with this.
Is there any sign of debris or wiring that is in the fan or rubbing against it?
