Hello, I just recently bought the Toshiba Qosmio X875-Q7390 it hasn't even been two weeks since I purchased the computer and from past experience with Toshiba I never heard any noise coming from the computers hardware and well every once in a while I hear a beep and a click sound as if one of the drives is writing or accessing something I need your opinion before its too late to send back.
