Limited Time? EDIT: gone now

Fri May 9, 2008, 5:08 PM
  • Mood: Excited
  • Listening to: Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order
  • Watching: Soul Eater
  • Eating: cookies!
  • Drinking: water that doesn't taste like ass for once
EDIT:  Ok I ran a check on the volume which took like two hours but nothing came up, then proceeded to boot with the noise still going, then it mysteriously stopped about 20 minutes later.  My dad said his comp used to make the same noise, but never got a blue screen, and it just stopped one day.  So hopefully I lucked out and nothing is wrong with my drive.

Ok I don't have much time to write this because I don't know when my computer is going to bluescreen me.  

I got a new harddrive during spring break (march) and it's been working fine but all of a sudden yesterday it starts to make this high-pitched buzz, so I shut it down because I was going to be anyway.  Then today I didn't turn on my comp til 2, and at 3 it started buzzing again.  I ignored it to see if it would go away, but I got a blue screen after 10 minutes saying my hardware was not hooked up correctly.  Oh, before that I was trying to save my files on my flash drive in case something did happen, but halfway through it said it couldn't find any of the filepaths.  That corroborates what my comp said about the hardware being not connected.

So I shut it down and opened the case, replugged everything back in, and now it works initially but I can hear the noise again and I don't want to be interrupted by the blue screen of death.  

This is just lovely; I have a 12-page paper to write next week and I don't know what's wrong with my comp. Luckily I was able to get my files on my flash drive (hopefully) uncorrupted so if I have to I can work at the computer lab.

But I can't draw or do anything where I have to save because I don't nkow when it'll show up.. So this is heads up I can only check my dA and stuff for a little bit at a time.

Thoughts/help???? PLEASE!!

depending on the noise the first two things that come to mind is either a fan that got its bearings wonked out or the hd click of death.


if the noise starts up again try running the comp with the case side off so you can pinpoint what's causing the noise.

try checking your RAM.

i used to get blue screens so after trying a bunch of things, I replaced my RAM and went from one stick of .5 gb to 2 sticks of .5gb and 2 sticks of .25

and i havent had a problem since

It's definitely not my RAM because I have 1 gig and I was hardly running anything at all (outlook, firefox, itunes)

Well actually I need to update my journal because after running the error check it said nothing was wrong and persisted for about 20 min, then stopped mysteriously as it started :iconmysteryplz:
