Urgent!!!!! Need Help

ok well i went to www.ign.com
and all of the sudden my laptop starts making this weird thumping sound

my specs are :
e1705
core duo @1.73 ghz
1 gb ram @ 533 mhz
intel pro wireless
7900 gs

 

umm...we need more info

thumping from where? Going to a website should make your notebook make any noise...

what ELSE did you do?

 

It might have been an advertisement on IGN. Sounds silly, but sometimes you can get these really annoying ads on big web-sites, that are Flash and make noise and play video without even asking you.

If it wasn't, tell us more about your problem.

 

well i tried going back to the website after restarting my comp and it didn't make the noise anymore
but it sounded like it was coming from below the keyboard
i guess it just scared me and i wanted to make sure my laptop wouldn't blow up or anything lol

Hehe, it was probably an advertisement with sound.

 

but it was coming from the laptop i made sure by disabling sound

 

Hmmm... if you're sure that your speakers were off at the time, then it's really questionable what would cause that sound. Only things that make sound in a laptop are fans and the hard drive. The PC Speaker may have gone off as well, but it's unlikely if you were just visiting a website.

 

@wannabeapilot - It isn't required that you see the same ad again, or an ad at all when you revisit that page. Lots of times, a site like IGN will store a cookie with ad info, so you don't have to see ads again after seeing it once. Of course, when you clear out your cache, things go back, and you may get another ad. No way to predict those.

I would suggest using Mozilla Firefox 2.0 + Ad-Block Plus (an Add-On). This way you never have to see an ad again...I don't!

 

omg your liquid crystae are blowing teh ups!
