Asked the same question myself. Positive answers, one being to clean the dust out of hard drive. So I undid the side panel, and proceeded to hoover and remove the thick dust. Was very careful not to touch anything inside the hard drive. Cleaned the motor fan, put panel back on. Switched on PC and joy of joys, a quiet running hard drive, a pleasure to be in the office now and work on computer.
