Hey everyone! I've got an HP ZBook 17 G2 running Windows 10 Pro, and today I noticed my laptop is making this odd noise—kind of like a tractor just sitting still. I haven't done anything yet since it's my only way to play games. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas on what it could be?

If you think it could be something else like the hard drive or optical drive, those can make noise too. Just be careful when taking apart your laptop! And if it is the fan, don’t forget to shut it down before you open it up to avoid any accidents.
Sounds like it might be coming from the fan, which is a common culprit. If you can, try to get a recording of the noise to help diagnose it further. You could also open up your laptop and listen closely with it turned on. If the fan is the issue, it's usually better to just replace it rather than trying to fix it with lubricant since that only works temporarily.
