Based on that data in the picture, its not harddrive paging (that was a retarded theory in the first place, if that was happening your game literally wouldn't be playable), so its not HD making noise, must be a fan.

can of air man, as we've all said from the start.

edit: was that the stats with diablo runnign or without? post one with diablo running and one without it running.

as we all (almost) suspected, your video card is getting hot making the fan turn on high speed. Can of air will help mitigate the heat issues, but it still might not be enough, in which case I would recommend you just ignore it.

Okay thank you. Do you think a compressor will work too? If i run it on low air pressure?

Why is it so difficult for you to just go and get a can of air?
I don't know, I don't see why not but I'm no expert on using air compressors to clean computers, wrong tool for the job like using a sledge hammer to pound in a nail

Have not heard back from op, I guess it's not a good idea to use air compressor to clean out PC

Compressor, as in the ones that shoot out air? Hell ya, it's much better than the cans because the air won't run out.

how full is your hard drive?
what programs are running?
is this a computer you built yourself?
