Laptop Making Weird Noise on Start-up

Hello, I've had a PC specialist laptop (model: cosmos IX) since 2021, the fans run very loud, and that hasn't really been an issue, but recently there is a loud whirring noise that starts about 20 seconds after I turn it on, if I sleep it then turn it back on it fixes it, but that's obviously a temporary solution. Was wondering if anyone had any ideas what it could be?
Thanks

Can you post the full specs from your orders page? When was the last time you performed the maintenance?

I took the back off and cleaned it maybe two years ago, so your probably right with it needing a clean.

Will need a repaste by now as well
Very likely (y)

I suggest replacing the standard paste with Kryosheet/Phasesheet PTM thermal pads, which extend (or eliminate in the case of Kryosheet) the laptop's repaste maintenance interval.



Cleaning the ventilation grids/fans of dust should be done on a regular basis; I do it every 2-3 months at most.
