Hi all i just thought id post on here after all we all into pc's right.

Well my problem is that my computer is running alittle dodgy atm.
The harddrive makes a funny noise then clicks ever 5 seconds then get a crash on the screen.
altho i also get memery dump error (blue screen) but i can fix that .

my harddrive is only 1-2 years old and when i replace sata cable into mother board slot restart then turn back on its ok for while then starts again.

im not 100% if this could be a hardware problem cos i dont know how raid works so i would like alittle help with this 1.
So i dont need to out pocket for a new 1 :)

Sounds like you need a new one, Have you tried reinstalling your OS?

Could have corrupt registry files and so forth ¬_¬

I would suggest trying a freeware registry fixer, http://www.brothersoft.com/downloads/hard-disk-fix.html

Seems like a few on their are free ware i have not tested them so not sure how well they work ect.

If all else fails you will probly need a new hard drive you can pick them up fairly cheap these days.

It's most definitely the harddrive gone knackers. You could possibly try SeaGate's low-format utility but that has a very slim chance of working. New HDD is the only option.
