Thank you, One of the cores is at 95 degrees C; I can hear the fan whirring. No other noises just at the moment.
Time to turn the machine off and walk away?

Right now all is quiet. Last night, it was making noises like a saw-whet owl that has slammed his talons in a car door. I will pay close attention to the heating issue. So far the machine is barely warm to the touch. I have them on a three year, come-to-my-door warrantee, so I aint buying no new machine in the near future. 7 inches of rain in July and counting. Carl, it was particularly good to hear from you. Two gifts you have given me forever are “steaming dog vomit” and “imagine a spherical cow”. Surely you have more of that sort of stuff in you. Don’t be a stranger.

I took my Lenovo laptop running Ubuntu Linux to Best Buy because it wouldn't accept the 20 character disk encryption password that had previously worked. I thought it might be a good time to convert it to Windows 10 which would give the house more flexibility. I further thought this would be a matter of wiping the hard drive and installing W10. All the data I care about are in the cloud. The Geek Squad receptionist said he didn't know anything about Linux and that he would ask a "tech". Sounds like "let me talk to my manager." The conclusion was the hardware is too old to support W10 so why don't I just buy a new laptop which might be a less expensive option. It has an Intel I7 processor. I decided to take it to Marcos who wiped the disk and installed a new version of Ubuntu. I took it home and installed Zoom. For all other purposes accessing applications via the browser should work. I might have to install Steam so Matthew can play games with his international friends. But the consensus is that yours is a fan problem. The only relevance of my experience is to resist buying a new computer unless there is no other less costly option. Good luck, Nick. --- Frank C.

You obviously need to get it serviced. In the meantime I recommend you search for how to measure the temperature of the CPU and then monitor it. I guess that while the temperature is not too high you would have some breathing space while waiting to have it serviced. I tinker with Raspberry Pis that don't not come standard with any cooling so I monitor the CPU temperatures, but that's in Linux so I don't think sharing what I do would help you.

It started with clunks and chunks and churrs but has now moved on to peeps and whistles. It’s latest production is a dying swan noise … a squeal, that descends in halftones and intensity followed by a scary silence… for a bit. Lenovo customer service seems to be “upgrading its systems” and has not responded for three days. Much as the noises sound like a dying mechanical hard drive, this machine has a solid state hard drive. Any thoughts? The machine seems to be working fine otherwise, but I am afraid it is going to shake itself to death. Sorry to bother you with this.
