Inspiron 3847, system fan humming
It started just recently. I can hear the PC humming all the time. I don't know what the problem is.

If you disconnect power from the DVD and the noize stops its definitely vibration.
Take the DVD out of the drive and the motor stops spinning.
Sound then goes silent.

Thank you for your message. I will be glad to assist you with this.
Do you observe any heating issues with the computer? Do you get any blue screen error message by any chance?
Is the fan noise audible from the time you start the computer or only when using the system for longer periods?
What is the BIOS version installed?
Please run a hardware diagnostic by following the video on this link http://bit.ly/2fJuGXB & check if there is an error.
For my reference, please click on the message tab next to your avatar– click “New Message” & search for my Dell username (Dell-Sreejith R) & send a private message with the service tag, registered name & email address.
