Hi, all.
I've got a problem with my recent computer I've just built.
It has Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) installed on it - and it has an Intel Core i3 processor, AMD Radeon HD 7970 GigaByte graphics card, and an ASRock H81 PRO BTC motherboard.
Normally, when any computer starts up - you normally hear a grinding noise with the light on the front of the case flickering (hard drive activity meter). However, this seems to go on for about 10 minutes and it is really annoying when you first boot up. All I've done is made sure that it is up-to-date with updates and that all drivers are installed. Everything works fine, everything loads fine, and there is no impact on performance. However, its the grinding that is annoying me for the first 10 minutes. Nothing is on the system apart from Skype and Mozilla Firefox.
What could be the issue?
Thanks!
