So I woke up this morning and discovered my computer restarted itself in the middle of the night. I didn't care so much that my computer restarted (even though I disabled that darn AutoUpdate), but I'm scared crazy that my primary drive temporarily stopped working.
I had an error on my monitor saying that I needed to insert a disk with a valid OS. I press Ctrl+Alt+Del to reset, POST is fine, then I see 1 SATA drive detected and I hear the evil Click of death. About one every two seconds, but then sporadically. I immediately shut off the computer via the power button.
I waited about 20s, then turned it back on. Everything worked fine. I don't know what I should do to make sure my primary drive isn't failing (It's almost brand new [~6mo]).
Here is my system setup. If I left something out that you need please let me know. I built it myself.
Core2Duo E6600
Asus P5B Deluxe
(2) Two Western Digital SE16 5000KS
Crucial Ballistix 2GB kit DDR2-800 PC2-6400
Radeon X1950XT
Everything is liquid cooled and not OC'ed.
