  Hi all, recently my laptop is getting very noisy and it's vibrating quite alot from time to time.
  
  I guess it comes from the fan. Anyone can help me with it? It's rather scary when the vibration comes... Wanna know if I can DIY fix it or whether I will have to send it to service centre... It's a Acer laptop.
  
  Thanks all!

  It can only mean either of the two things:
  
  1) Something came loose inside and its in contact with rotating parts.
  
  2) Time to get a new laptop.

  1. It's overworking, so the fan is overworking to protect the processor from overheating.
  
  2. It's your hard disk.
  
  As usual, any computers that are too noisy, be prepared that it may go heaven any time.

  hmm. mayi, if the fan will overwork to keep the processor cool, is it possible to install more fans, to lighten the burden?
  
  i didn't know computer so pro. can adjust fan speed to match the processor's speed

  Computers are pretty auto when it comes to this. However, there's a limit. Once it reaches that limit, the processor will overheat and it will just shut down or force restart.
  
  Yes, you can install more fans to lighten the burden, but the best is you upgrade your hardware.
  
  To make a computer do such intensive work... your hardware certainly just passed the requirements to use a program or you simply have too many things to overwork a computer.

  I suggest you just bring it directly for servicing.
