I'll get straight to the point
About a month or two ago my computer kept on giving BSODs. I thought the hard drive was dying then until someone told me that it is actually my RAM that's failing. By the time i found this out i had reinstalled XP on new hard drive which also wouldn't boot because of corrupt files after BSOD. Although the new hard drive lasted about a week before the fist BSOD and then corrupt windows files.
So i went on and replaced my ram. So far the computer is running great. I didnt use the new hard drive just in case i would kill that hard drive. Just to be on the safer side i reinstalled XP on the hard drive that kept failing. It was fine for a month. But then i noticed this grinding sound from the hard drive. Maybe it was there the whole time.
The only problem I have with this is I think it is slowing down COD4 online for me.
So is my hard drive dying? No need for backup cautions because I have already done it.
Thanks for your help. Sorry its long
