I was using my PC as i normally do (no abnormal programs or new hardware) when suddenly it became very loud. Worryingly loud. So i turned my computer off and opened it up, the fans were full of dust so i cleaned them out and took the opportunity to apply new thermal paste. When i turned my PC back on (even before reaching the login screen) though it was still incredibly loud so i took the side off and from what i could tell it was the CPU fan.
Then randomly while search for a fix it stopped and returned to the ordinary near silent level of noise.
Any idea what may have happened? Is there anything i should be wary of?
Also the second it stopped it reminded me of when i'm processing very large videos, i don't do this often but the high level of noise then sudden seemingly permanent stop was very similar. Could a very intense program have been running in the background unnoticed. (just something that came to mind)
This isn't currently an issue but i'd like to hear what you believe it may have been. Thanks!
