HELP!!!!

 

.... don't know whether this is happening cos' I'm burning up the keyboard here posting a little more than usual...(LET'S GO SEOUL SURVIVORS!!!!!!!!)

 

(and I don't want to go back rereading all the prior posts here) ... Hey this thread is pretty popular... cool :up:!!!

 

QUESTION: Why is my hard drive (tower) ,making grinding sounds every once in a while??? Can't be good.... doesn't sound good. What should I do??? HELP!!!

Grinding? If you mean like just normal sounds, like the way a refrigerator runs it's fine. If it's grinding I'd recomend backing up files because You may have dust in the hardrive, although normally it woudl've been broke by now.

Is it normal for the pc to slow down start up time and processing in general the more programs you install?

Yes because many of the programs you've installed are probably added to the list of applications to be started up.

you might just have d/l something that is slowing your comp down or something? my comp grinds sometimes but just b/c it is going slow that day or something. sometimes some programs mess your computer up as well such as things like KaZzA and other places that you d/l music from?

Well that would be the computer reading the files off the hardrive that makes the "grinding" noise.

If I feel the need to brush while in front of the computer I just go get my toothbrush out of the bathroom and bring it in here with me. My rechargeable toothbrush doesn't need a usb port.

Wow, more money went into the creation of that product than I'll ever see in my life.

 

And of all the things in the world a person could possibly spend their money on, some sponser somewhere apparently had that at the top of their list :).

Many virus hoaxes are going around. If you get a virus alert in your email that tells you to delete something don't do it until you do research on it.
