Good thought, but wouldn't account for the sound as it spins down on power down. My money is on bearings. Its getting worse, quickly. It will soon stop. Permanently. |

| 200647 | 2003-12-16 10:07:00 | I tried out the suggestion of disabling SMART on my HDD. Then powered off to let the pc cool for a while (I’ve noted the noise changes pending pc temp) but upon power up... no change unfortunately. Although the noise right now is only barely noticeable, I am now convinced (as many a pressf1 user has stated), its only going to get worse! But thank you for that thought ugh1. |

| 200649 | 2003-12-16 10:33:00 | Is the hdd making an odd “click” or “tick” every few min’s like every 5 - 10 min’s it does a funny click… If so, I suggest you backup your most important information NOW! & Take in to a PC repair shop/ or guy. |
