    One day a couple months back i turned on my computer and now the fan on the left side makes an annoying buzzing sound instead of running smoothly. i opened my computer up and cleaned the fan out, and made sure the screws were tight. is there any way to fix this?

    your fan's shot. Konig and i have had this too, but on the right side. AW will ship you a new one, free of charge. you can install it yourself, not that hard.
