Probably chock full of dust and causing your components to overheat, which is causing your fan to ramp up. If it hasn't always done that, you can probably get it to quiet down by cleaning it out.

My Internet is actually 300 Mpbs....but this machine won't do it.
They have home 1 gig for $67.99 + tax
You can get 2.5 gig for 97.99
Not many home machines can keep up with with 2.5 gig
They have 10 gig for $299.99
I live on 20 acres in the middle of nowhere. I'm on septic and well water, I can get 5gbps internet via AT&T fiber.
This thread is bad.

That's impressive. Most sites can't even feed you the data that fast.
My ISP offers 10 gig for $299.99 per month.
I'm going to buy a server and come back.

Thanks, Joshjrn. I've never cleaned it in 15 years. Maybe I should.

I'm still using an old hP I got at Costco in 2009. It's running Windows 7 as well and I love it. Nooooo problems. I only just last year started getting the messages that "updates are no longer available. Switch to Windows 10" or something. It's pretty clunky and has a loud fan that whirs too much.
Same here. An HP from Sam's.
Only had one problem. ACR the poker site recently did an upgrade. You now must Have Windows 10 or better to play their site.

Dust will make it sound like it is about to take off down the rumway.

Yes and no. You can pay ATT to send it to you, but you'll need specialized hardware to receive it. My motherboard has a few years on it now, but it was fairly high end when I bought it, and it only came with a 2.5G NIC. If I wanted to do any better than that, I would need to slot something like this into one of my PCIe slots: LINK
Most devices that you buy off the shelf, even brand new now, usually can't handle more than 1G.

Dear god...
Buy a couple of cans of compressed air, and for the sake of your allergies, take it either outside or into the garage before you open it up and start cleaning it out. It's likely to be bad bad

Get some compressed air and shop-vac computer attachments.

We do 500 Mbps from AT&T. I just don't need anything more than that. I think the max plan we have available is 2 Gbps.

Nah, that's why I'm suggesting compressed air. Hard to frick anything up with that, even as a neophyte. Now, see those attachments Silver is suggesting? That's how shite gets broken
