merckx Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I've just had a continuous clicking sound from my computer case. It was fairly loud, it lasted about 5 seconds and stopped when I thumped the case but started again a few seconds later, the computer then froze so I had to restart it. It's definately not the fan. Is this likely to be the hard drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 more than likely, its the only other part with moving parts if it wasn't the fans or cd drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 WE get a continuous clicking on OUR computer, but it comes from the MOUSE every time Carole gets her hands on it ! ! ! "SINGLE click WOMAN !" "It's allREADY trying to load WOMAN" etc etc etc [sorry to butt in mate;) ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyknox Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Sounds like the hard drive mate and the fact that your computer freezes during that period sounds right too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Sounds like the hard drive mate and the fact that your computer freezes during that period sounds right too. I agree with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 yeah most likely the hard drive either just overheating if you are lucky, but most likely it might be on the way out - hope you have your stuff backed up ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Actuator seek error in the hard drive. Bad news. Usually an instant death too not very often you get the chance to back stuff up before it 'gets worse'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
