Hard disk ticking noise.

January 18th, 2010, 14:06

My hard disk makes a weird ticking noise and i cant do anything for 5-10 seconds.
It all started when the dude that repairs my computer pulled out my old ram to check it so he can buy a new one. When he put the ram back he powered on my computer and i've heard that ticking noise. I had 512 (2x256) RAM. I succesfully upgraded my PC to 2 GB (2x1 GB) of ram.
But it's really annoying when i'm trying to animate in flash and that ticking noise shows up. As i said before i can't do anything for a few seconds.
Is there a way to fix this? Or i got to replace my hard disk?

Your hdd is dieing.
Get all of your data to another new drive, and drop this away, before you loose everithing!
