[quote name='chewster777']Thanks! I will have to pick up a new hard drive now. I have a question though, seeing as how I know nothing about the insides of computers. Is it the hard drive that makes the noise when you run a computer? Mine's real noisy and I was wondering what would be causing it. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
Could be a lot of things, but generally hard drives aren't that loud. My guess is you have a fan that's gone bad, it could be a case fan or a fan for the video card or processor. That's always been the case for me, fans start to get off balance and make a ton of noise.
I have been thinking of upgrading some stuff for DirectX 10 and Vista, might use this to pick up a hard drive.
