Hey, my computer freezes much lately (mostly when it was idle for a long time and i start to use it again). It is also slow when copying files. '
The pc also froze when installing from, or copying a large cab file (at the end of the installation, i hear a click sound from the cpu for 2-3 seconds and the installation fails)
In the HP diognostics, i saw a "Biohd-8" error and it advised to backup my data. I have a samsung 320GB harddrive and i heard that the click sounds mean that my hard drive is dying.
It had been just 3 months since i bought my pc, and i dont know how my hard drive could die for no reason..windows will still start, but i need some advice! Does my hard drive just have some bad sectors, or is it really dying? how could a new hard drive die for no reason?
waiting for reply soon, thanks...
