Major headaches this week
Like I said in my other thread, computer is determined to test me this week, so, sorry, but another thread.
When I boot my PC there's a clicking noise from the optical drive before it resumes normal operation. I checked it was the drive by disconnecting it and booting (the sound went away), then rebooting with it plugged in and it came back.
The drive works perfectly fine, so should I just monitor it until it gives out or switch it out now with either an RMA (it's covered for 2 years, but as it was a brown box unit I don't have the box, plus it would have to ship to Germany which is effort) or a completely different drive?
I currently have:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-BH16NS40-AUAR10B-Internal-BD-RW-Retail/dp/B00AK29B26/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
And am considering (which is what I considered should this drive fail)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007IXNF7M/
If I went for the Asus I'd need to keep the current drive around because it came with the software needed to play Blu Rays
After I put this thing together, I did think that either my optical drive or storage hard drive will be the first to give out. Guess I wasn't wrong
