OK, so I was on whosampled.com looking at which artist sampled another artist's work, when a loud generator like noise started out of nowhere. A couple of seconds after that, the Laptop-HP Pavilion G7- went BSOD. The BSOD flashed by too quickly for me to jot-down any numbers.
My question is, is it a hard disk fail? It sounded like one. The hard disk is a Hitachi HTS5450 500 GB of storage with 281 GB of storage left. All of the computer documents and files are intact.
Note: could it be that I am running the laptop too hard, as I play Planetside 2, Bioshock, and Gotham City Impostors on it?
Thanks!! :)
