TECH HELP : PC & Printer

[Joanne Proctor <joproctor@COX.NET>]

Hello all,
  Before I schlep these things to the repair shop maybe someone out there
knows what's wrong.  This morning my PC (an IBM purchased in '99) was fine,
around noon it starting making what I call "grinding" or "growling" noises
(sort of like the car engine trying to turn over when the battery's about
shot).  It seems to work just fine except for the noise.  The other problem
is with my HP printer (same age as PC).  It only wants to print in black and
pink.  I've replaced the cartridge which didn't help and checked the
settings which seem okay.  Any ideas?  Or should I just plan on buying new
stuff.
Thanks,
