I recently had a pretty alarming experience where I found someone remotely controlling my computer late at night. After that, I decided to factory reset and reformat my Windows to make sure everything was wiped. Thankfully, I haven't noticed any remote access issues since then. However, ever since the reset, my computer has been running super LOUD right from the moment I turn it on, and it hasn't calmed down since. I bought this computer last year from a local shop, and I'm worried it might have been built with old components. Before the reset, it was much quieter, and I'm not sure what changed. Are there any settings or drivers I should check to quiet it down? It doesn't seem to be overheating, but the noise is there the second I power it on.

Could you clarify what exactly is loud? Is it the speakers or the fans? The noise could be due to drivers, fan control settings, or even fan failures. It's good to narrow down where the sound is coming from.
It sounds like you probably had a custom fan curve set up before, and now it’s reverted to the factory settings. When you turn on your PC, look for the motherboard logo, and try to access the BIOS by pressing the delete key. Once in the BIOS, you should be able to adjust the fan speeds based on temperatures. There are also software options available to control fans, but they can be unreliable. Give it a shot and see if that helps!
If it’s the fans that are loud, it might be because Windows is updating in the background after your reset. That said, if they’re blasting at full speed right from the power on, it’s unlikely to be an update. Sounds like you might need a fan control adjustment!
What are your computer specs? Just trying to evaluate the situation better. Sharing the details might help identify any specific issues related to your components.
