My laptop is making whirring sounds

[Livvy25]

My laptop is 3 months old and it has been making whirring sounds.  Went to the web and it stated it may be dust, fan, or hard drive.  Do I need to take this to a computer repair person?  Need help ASAP.

Welcome to the HP Community @Livvy25!

I came across your message about the PC performance issue and wanted to pop in to help 🙂

Going through your post, I understand that the laptop is making a whirring noise. I’d like to know the following details to assist you better:

1. Is it the laptop fan spinning fastly and thus making the noise?
2. Are you playing games, watching videos or running any high-end games while this happens?
3. Is the laptop overheating?
4. Is your laptop shutting down by itself at any point?

Alternatively, perform a Windows update on your PC. Restart the PC once done. Then update the BIOS and the chipset drivers for this notebook. Go to http://hp.care/2nikIQ9  and enter the PC model number to download and update the BIOS and Chipset drivers.

Restart your PC and check for issue resolution.
