Clicking Hard Drive

bad pcb controller, overwritten servo's, damage to the hard drive's platters and
alignment issues from being dropped, jarred or a power surge.

System Blue Screens
When your system blue screens when you try to
boot or during the middle of an operation, it can mean the operating system has
been damaged, there may be bad sectors on your hard drive that the system is
unable to read, your hard drive could be failing, you might have a virus or
trojan, someone may have deleted critical dll's or system files, the partition
or file structure may have become corrupted or damaged.

Drive Not Formatted
A drive not formatted error usually indicates
the hard drive's partition has been damaged, deleted or corrupted. It can be
caused by a virus, a hard reboot, a power outage or surge, disc partitioning
utilities and sometimes updating software, anti-virus programs or simply
installing new software can damage a partition.

Computer Keeps rebooting
The most common reason a computer keeps rebooting
over and over is because the boot sector has been hijacked by a virus that
creates a continuous loop. It keeps telling the system to go back to the boot
sector and reboot.

System Freezes or Hangs
When your system freezes or hangs while
trying to boot or while accessing a file or program it usually indicates that
there are bad sectors on the hard drive and the system is unable to access the
information it needs to open the file or load the program. It can be caused by a
corrupt file or shared program files that have conflicting call procedures or
too many system resources are being used (the system memory gets full or
overloaded).
