How many drives are in the system? Take a screenshot of the drives in task manager
little sparrow
2 drives one hdd and one ssd
ornate haven
Well, replace the hdd with an ssd. Do you have another pc to transfer the files with?
ornate haven
and why do u think that would solve my problem?
To transfer the files from the hdd to a new 2.5” ssd
To get rid of the hdd
little sparrow
yes but why would that solve my problem?
plus i didnt know u could put a ssd on a hdd slot, can u actually do that?

Thats the only real moving part in your pc apart from a fan
gilded lichen

you should try disconnect the fan and boot (don’t keep it on for too long) and see if the issue continues
one of the bearings in the fan in my desktop is dying but when i give it a good whack it seems to work properly again (don’t actually try that though lmao)
little sparrow
how do i do that?
frigid eagle
im actually pretty sure my fan is the problem not my hdd
Nah, believe me, if it's vibrating it's most likely your hhd, since It has a High rpm inside, it's normal and if you want to get rid of vibration buy and SSD and replace your hhd and It Will fix it

how do i do that?
Google: how to disconnect/change fan "model and name of your laptop"

You're better off removing the hard drive, not the fan. Windows should boot fine if you have an SSD.
However, @little sparrow if you're seeing two drive in My PC, this doesn't mean you have two physical drives. You could have a hard drive split into 2.
Right click your windows icon, click Disk Management and show us a screenshot of what's in here

if it has a SATA connector yes
A hdd will have a sata connector, and sata ssds exist
frigid eagle
A hdd will have a sata connector, and sata ssds exist
Well not Always, there are ide hdd
ornate haven
Well not Always, there are ide hdd
That laptop will almost certainly have a sata hdd
frigid eagle
That laptop will almost certainly have a sata hdd
Yeah true
ornate haven
Also how old is that
frigid eagle
this?
Yes thanks, It shows that you have two physical hard drives, tho i would suggest you to change the hhd for an SSD as it's most likely the curpurate here
frigid eagle
Also how old is that
Idk id Say It has win 10 on it
frigid eagle
No, how old is ide
Think og xbox
(in the Xbox 360 they already had sata for the hhd)
ornate haven
Yeah that’s really old
