Some of you may remember that a few months ago (I think) I made a thread telling you guys that when I watched anime on the eeePC, the audio would keep going but the video/subs would lag behind. I haven't used my eeePC in a few weeks, and I just started using it again yesterday. The problem still persists, and it has been happening a lot more frequently. I have to skip back a few seconds several times per minute for the video to catch up with the audio.
Another problem that happened yesterday is that when I tried to turn the eeePC off, it made a strange clicking noise and then rebooted (didn't turn off) and when it booted back up, there was an "error" screen telling me that the bios could not recognize the hard drive. I tried turning it on again this morning and it worked fine, but I noticed that some files in my HD were missing...
This is all leading me to believe that the HD on my eeePC may be dying. What should I do? I bought it from Amazon about 2 or 3 months ago IIRC, so will they replace it? If not, how can I fix this? Because I think this is the reason why the video is lagging as well.
