Hey guys, recently I had a Hard Drive crash - it was devastating and I lost a lot of data.
However I had to move on. I purchased backblaze to backup my files and a new Western Digital HD and a new copy of Windows 7. Computer has been working fine for a few weeks - however I've noticed the computer getting hot, nothing too dangerous, but decided to move computer up to top of desk instead of under so it can disappate the heat more (it was very hot under the desk).
Since it's been up here and now sitting next to me, I can hear the Hard Drive CONSTANTLY running. I thought at first it was a fan (I do have a fan dying but it's not it) but it seems to be the HD.
Is it just loud? Is it normal? Should I do something to prevent?
Processor AMD FX(tm)-8120 Eight-Core Processor
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650
Memory 8.1 GB
Operating System Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 64-bit
