I'm trying to pinpoint the problem here.
I hear a clicking and then a sound similar to what my PC sounds like when it boots up (I can't explain it, sounds kind of what a bus sounds like when it accelerates from a full stop) whenever I go into playing a 3dmode game. I've tried two different videocards, thinking it could've been my recently recieved off RMA 9800 Pro, but I don't think it is the case (I'm having other problems with that card, but that is for a later time).
After hearing this noise for about 2 or 3 minutes straight, usually repeating itself in cycle of about 5 seconds, I get a freezup and requires a hard reboot.
Any idea what the problem is?
I was thinking it was a harddrive error but I can still access files on both drives in Windows with no problems.
