Hello,
Since 3 or 4 days i seem to be having a problem with my hard drive.
When i boot up my PC in the evening (arround 23:00-01:00)my hard drivespins up like a madman, almost sound like when loading a disk in my dvd drive.
But when i reboot it just sounds normally.
Also when i boot up in the morning i never heard it spin up that badly.
i heard from some people that it might be the virus scanner or Microsoft Security Essentials that causes my hard drive to spin up that loud.
For my own test i will keep it off this evening and only boot it up in the morning to hear if it still does it then.
I hope someone can help me or can tell me what the problem is (unharmfull or maybe a hard drive failure).
The Hard drive i am using is a Seagate ST2000DM001 7200 RPM.
Thanks in advance for the help
