Hi,
Recently my computer's hard-drive failed and I had to buy a new hard-drive (WD and 1 terrabyte), I installed the OS onto it and everything and it was all working fine. After using it about almost a week the hard-drive is making some kind of loud deep grinding noise from time to time. When this happens, whatever I'm doing sort of freezes and it all messes up eveything. For example, if I was watching a video on youtube the sound would go funny for a second and revert back to normal. Another time was I was playing League of Legends and this happened, my ping went really high in the game for a few seconds. This started to happen after installing some window updates.
I'm not exactly 100% if the sound is from my hard-drive, but I checked and I heard the sound from that area.
I'm not exactly very knowledgeable in computers and I would appreciate any help possible. I really do not want to buy another hard-drive only in a week time of usage. Thank you.
