Why does my Dell running Vista whine constantly? I don't play games and I run one program at a time usually.

Are you running good anti-bad software like Spybot or AVG? That can help. And you need to make sure that you don't have an open port.
Here's a good article that explains what these are and products to help detect and prevent being part of a bot network.

To see this, right click anywhere on the start bar and pick "task manager" from the menu. On task manager there should be a "CPU usage" indicator on the bottom of the window in the status bar. If it's close to 100% when you don't have anything running, and stays high for long periods, then you probably have some malware or other bad software running on your machine.
This would make your fans run faster to compensate for the heat and make the whining sound.
If that's the case look into getting the machine cleaned with Malwarebytes or any other good, free cleaner programs.
If you are not seeing high usage then call Dell and tell them you have a bad fan.

Do a CTR+ALT+DEL and check what CPU time is being spent.
You can then run MSCONFIG from your RUN menu and choose which programs you want to run at startup. Just running the essential ones keeps your memory free and the computer running faster.
