Loud cliks followed by beeps would indicate a flakey/failing PSU as it is cycling back into the BIOS... Ahhh cheers mate , Well like i said im no expert so im getting somone out in a few days, Is there anyway to check to see if it is a faulty HD . . I can't get into safe mode or anything tho . . I opened my case lastnight and the SOUND was defo coming from HD so im not sureYes. The best way is to determine who made the drive...Seagate, Maxtor, etc... Then travel to their site and DLoad the FREE diagnostics. Follow the instructions on creating a bootable CD... Run it right before bedtime as the long test will take awhile...do not interrupt it. The results will tell you if the drive can be trusted with important data or not...well Just a update . . . Got a expert out and he tried a new hard drive and all was ok , he reckons the only thing that could of happened was physical damage to the hard drive but the drive as never been out of the computer nor have i gone in there with a hammer so who knows ? . . . Anyways its sorted now now that i got a new one , any ideas what could of happend to it inside the comp ? . . . cheers for the help guys Quote a flakey/failing PSUQuote from: patio on February 25, 2009, 04:55:00 PM Quotea flakey/failing PSU hey pal . . Does this MEAN the psu is ready to go and im about to splash more cash ? lol I 'd certainly keep my eye on the machine in question... If no symptoms PERSIST then you may be OK... If they start to show again that's the first thing i would test. |
