My harddrive has recently been making loud click noises, such as the noises you would hear on shutdown and boot, i hear a click like its shutting off and another like its turning on. This is my secondary Western Digital 40gb, its a year or two old.
I have a Fortron Source 450watt psu, Sempron 64 2600+, FIC K8-800T, 2 UV ccfl's, a fan on 7v (using the 5v as a ground) and another fan on 5v floating infront of the harddrives, and i put some foam padding around the hdd bay to reduce a high pitched noise i've been hearing before this. It only increased temp of my other hdd from 40 to 44C (the one i hope that's in question doesnt have a temp sensor)
It used to do this same noise when i had the CCFL inverter's molex pasthrough before the hdd, i changed that recently when i got my new PSU, do you know what the problem may be? is it overheating? if its overheating due to the padding, is there any other way that i can reduce a highpitched noise coming from it cuz it gives me a headache if i dont turn some music on.
i hope you can help
thanx
