Cpu making grinding noise and vibrating

Here's how the problem started..
My 17" crt display went kaput, and the monitor started emitting smoke. I
closed the power immediately and that was it.
Forward 2 days later...
called in LG service and the guy fixed my monitor! bingo.
But now when I start my computer, it makes a REAL LOUD noise and
everything vibrates wildly. the noise and the vibration 'stay' for 2-3
minutes before stopping.
Now I have searched a bit and come across several probable causes - and
eliminated quite a few , like hard-disk, dvd-drive , wires touching fan..

What I really want to know is that cuold there be any relation between my
monitor going dead an smoking, and the cpu vibration?

The system is functioning just fine right now and a soft reboot does not
cause any sound or vibration. Also the problem does not happen everytime..

Specs -
17 inch crt LG
amd x2 4000
asus m2a-mx
1gb ram
no pci cards , pci-e cards..

Noise and vibration would have to be a problem with a mechanical device.
Monitors do not have any moving parts to vibrate. I can't believe
the monitor did anything to your PC.

I would have said DVD since it usually spins up on boot and then stops
after a few minutes. Much like your complaint.

If its really not that, (and just pulling the power plug in the back of
the DVD would test that), then I would look at fans. There is one in
the power supply too. They can spin and change characteristics after
they spin for a while (heat up) etc and the noise will stop. Or they
finally stop spinning thus no noise, also no ventilation which can kill
your system (cpu). So you should check them asap.

The monitor is a separate subsystem, from a power perspective. If
the interface was not damaged (i.e. after LG fixed the monitor, the
video interface still works with the repaired monitor), chances are there
is no damage from it.

The CPU fan bearing could be worn a bit. Some people use oil as
a temporary fix for a noise problem, or if you can afford it,
you might install an aftermarket CPU cooler to take the place
of the AMD provided cooler.

When fitting items like this, always check the physical dimensions,
to make sure there is room on the motherboard and inside the
computer case, for it to fit.

hmm ok thanks for replying. I guess this means it was just a coincidence.
Or maybe I involuntarilly kicked the cpu in shock when I smoke coming out
of the monitor!
ha that makes things logical! :)
