PC problems

[beanbag]

My PC has these problems. Is it ok to continue using?



1) Sometimes when I first start it up, it only runs at about 1/3 speed. Eventually, it will go up to full speed.



2) When I turn it off, right as it stops spinning, it makes a squeak.

I'd take it to a PC authorized service center. If you followed the instructions in the manual they recommend you take it in for lubrication every year. It sounds like the lube is worn out. Continuing to use it in this fashion will likely be terminal.

Yes, something is funny here. It should mindlessly rev right up to whatever speed you set it to instantly, and the squeak is abnormal. Get it checked out.
