Solve : syptoms of hard drive? |
|
Answer» HI, i'm new to computers and was wondering what the symptoms of a hard drive that is dying or dead...any information would be greatly appreciated...kind regards theted Data Loss - The 7 Most Common Symptoms of a Failed Hard Drivehi soyabean,this is what happend to my pc in 1 day...when i booted up it went straight to "checking c drive for error's"...this lasted for 30 minutes,i switched off the pc, Then back on and it took even LONGER before i got into the pc...Then i heard a click coming from the tower and a smell of burning so i switched it off,i had a look inside but couldn't see anything so i tried to switch pc back on,but it wouldn't start..i checked the fuse on power cable and it was ok...do u think the c drive is dead,..or could it be something else...kind regard's theted Burning smell is normally from the PSU....and a PSU getting ready to fail will cause other components such as hard drives to act as if they are failing as well... Don't continue to use that machine until you have borrowed/bought a known good PSU and swapped it in there to see if that is the culprit. You RISK permanantly DAMAGING more than a hard drive in doing so...thats what it was patio...i opened up my pc and had a look in the cpu..there was a lot of dust and a burning smell coming from it..borrowed my brothers cpu and it booted up straight away..thanks for the info m8...learning all the time...all the best...theted |
