[CGUYS] Very Entertaining Dell Computer

[Jay Montero]

A while back, I posted a problem I was having with a Dell computer who's 
fan sounded like a jet engine.  I discovered this particular computer, 
running Windows XP Pro,  was very temperature sensitive and when the 
office A/C got fixed, the problem went away.  However, now it seems it 
is acting up again.  But here's the twist: when the user gets an e-mail 
with an attachment, the fan revs up like crazy followed by a beeping 
noise.  When he closes the e-mail, and it can be any e-mail with an 
attachment, the beeping ceases and the fan settles back down.  Has 
anyone heard of such a thing?
