First figure out which model you have, as a PowerMac won't run any thing past 10.5.8, Lion. My MacBook Pro, early 2008, will run up to El Capitan.?
Open it up and blow out the dust bunnies. Then if it is still noise, do a web search for new fans. I used iFixIt for a how to video, and purchased the fan i needed. Btw, the right and left fan on my MBP are different.

The machine is from 2008, but it does all I need it to do. However, I fear that the fans are not what they used to be and probably need replacing. If I use it for any length of time it resets. If I leave it with the log on page after it resets, in a few hours it resets again. it makes a horrible noise when booting. I think it is the fan but I am open to suggestions.
The question is : does anyone know where I can purchase replacement fans for this old but virile computer? I really do not want to part with it. Call me silly, but it has been through a lot with me and I do not want to just discard it when it can still perform.
BTW, I am on El Capitain since that is the last OS version that I can download.
Thanks
