my computers making weird... clicky noises. like when the computer is busy, but its like 300 times louder..

and it scanned for clusters? and found 2 bad ones..

so i stopped the scan.



is there anything i can do? my moms given up on it, but i dont want to.

Well, does it make a loud sound like a chainsaw, especially when the hard drive is being accessed? Your hard drive could be failing. It could also be an off-balance, obstructed, or dying fan. Either way, you probably should have the malfunctioning part replaced fairly quickly.

^my mom wont spend any money on it, since its a windows 98.

we had this problem before, with my last computer.


my downloading eventually destroys the computer. pinch.gif


its not like a chainsaw... its just...loud.. clicks.

Hmm. I guess you can try and disconnect the hard drive and boot from a floppy or cd. If it's still making the sound, it's probably a broken fan.

maybe its just too old.

on black friday 2005 walmart will sell a $398 laptop and a $398 desktop with an LCD monitor from HP.

The laptop in the ad comes with a 2800+ Sempron processor from Advanced Micro Devices, 256MB of memory, a 40GB hard drive, a CD-RW/DVD drive and a 15-inch screen.

The desktop, meanwhile, comes with a 3000+ Sempron, 512MB of memory, a 40GB drive and a 15-inch LCD.

lol. just try to get there early. I'll see if i can get the laptop, its HP Pavillon.
