Here's the story. I went out to get a new motherboard, and I bought myself a gigabyte 990FXA-UD3, and installed it in my case. It started up and I was happy, so I installed windows 8. Joy, but sooner, while I was transferring data from a back up hard drive, my main drive (WD Green 1TB, the one with the problem.) Began making that obnoxious problem. At first I ignored it, but it got irritating. I saw my HDD LED glowing bright so I thought it must've been the HDD.
So what I decided to do was test it by transferring a file from the main to the back up. 100kb/s transfer. I couldn't bare the sight, and I thought maybe I can still play games. No, I couldn't, and it was a dumb thought. My computer crashed and I restarted it. I installed windows 7 ultimate now, thinking it'd fix it, but it didn't.
TL;DR:
My Western Digital Green 1TB HDD revs up then clicks, slows down, then repeats when its in use. Any ideas on how you can help?
Specs if needed I suppose:
GTX 650 Ti
AMD 6300 OC 4.1ghz
8GB RAM, Kingston, not too sure on it.
Western Digital Green 1TB (broken?)
Salvaged HDD 100GBs (works perfectly
Thermal take 500w PSU
