all of a sudden my cooling fan sound has increased a lot. This occurs during winter. I remember it happened last year too; after continuous switching the pc on and off, the sound went away, it started to noise again from the next day.

This year it is occurring again.

what do I do?
Why is this happening?

Thanks

Usually that type of noise is due to the bearing getting worn out in the fan motor.

but sometimes when I switch off the pc and on the pc sound goes away. The sound is coming from power supply.

What should I do?

Thanks

Then it is the fan in the power supply...in any case, it is a sign that the fan is having problems.

Sooner or later the noise AND the fan will stop...
