|
 |
I had a bsod while watching a .mp4 video. When it finaly rebooted I could heard a loud tik,tik,tik noise coming from the computer. And it didn't stop until windows booted up. But then the hard drive started working and sounding like machine gun fire.
First I thought it was overclock, but then I lowered it, and still the same sounds.
Luckily I backed up all my data before the last windows install.
So what do you guys think, is it the hard drive, or could it be something else?

Aye, open up the case, boot up the computer and see if you _feel_ it ticking. Probably is your hard drive by the sound of it though

HD tune pro or Hard Disk Sentinal will tell you if your HD is bad. RUn either of those, preferabbly HD Sentinal.

Serious hard disk diagnostics/rescue/salvaging requires non-windows programs. Hiren's Boot CD 10.6 contains a whole bunch of different hard drive diagnostic/scanners/repair programs.

Scanned it with sentinel, and there were no problems. I'm thinking of buying a new hard drive just in case, and use the old one for non essential stuff till it dies.

Actually, Speedfan is good enough to get a quick indication of a hard drives state. Use the online button to get a few more details.
It's far from a deep analysis, but it gets usable results.
