From about two months I have been hearing a scratch and click sound from my HDD and I didn't care about but from four days the click sound was gone and yesterday I found that my G Drive was deleted, I successfully retrieved all data from it and I ran an Error-checking on that Drive after allocating it, there were no errors but during running the test I put my ear next to the HDD and I was hearing a scratch sound while it was running but no clicking sound.
and when I tried to Overclock my CPU to 3.66GHz from a month (which I have done before successfully) it showed me a BSOD on windows loading (I really don't remember the BSOD), when Isearched on the internet I found that this BSOD can be caused by a Hard Drive fault or missing windows files.
My system:
Intel Core2Duo E7500 @ 3.3GHz
2X2GB Kingston 1333MHz Ram @ 1200MHz
MSI GT640 N640-2GD3/V3 @ 1080MHz Core and 900MHz Memory
Gigabyte GA-G41MT-S2PT
Western Digital Caviar Blue WD500AAKS (500GB, SATAII, 16MB Cache, 7200RPM)
HP DVD1260 DVD-RW
a 500W non-branded PSU and case
The question is : Is my HDD dying or this is regular ?
