Why is my HP Pavillion laptop making this constant whirring sound?
My HP Pavillion DV 2700 harddrive or fan or ??? seems to be constantly starting and stopping - making a whirring sound every 6 seconds - any suggestions?
I’m frustrated

Thanks for the comment...That is what I thought too - but I used an air blower to blast any dust away from the back vent (I could not see any dust - but tried this anyway), and the sound has stopped for the last couple weeks. So it must have been the fan starting and stopping...weird that it was every 6 seconds... -
Hmm. Well, I'm no expert, so I think you should call HP. I had a problem with overheating, and after 173 emails and six or seven phone calls--one with a hold time of 45 minutes--I was escalated to a case manager, who (ungratefully) replaced my computer.
Good luck.
