My computer is quite old, however at the moment it is unusable as the fan is making a very loud noise and everything is slow. Also the volume button is not Woking as when I try to turn the volume up it says not working. This has happened before and I somehow managed to fix it however I have forgotten what I did. anyone know any fixes?
