Hey guys,
It's been a while since I've posted on here, but I've got a (serious) issue right now..
In the past couple of days, my pc has been running as usual (about 7 hours a day), being mostly used for internet browsing/downloading and office work.
Now, whenever it's running, occasionally, it makes this squeaky noise. It started with a very short squeak, then they became longer. The last one lasted for around 5 seconds.
Now this had got me worried. I've already checked the fans, and they are working fine, no noise coming from them. The CD drive is also silent, and is not being used now.
So really the only thing left is the hard drive. But could that be it? I really can't afford to lose all my files and my pc, because I've got my exams coming up fast.
Any help is appreciated!
PC specs:
Packard bell Imedia 5701
CPU: Intel Core I3 530 2.93Ghz
GPU: Nvidia G315 512mb
HDD: not sure, but it seems like it's a western digital 580GB
