I've quite recently installed Windows 7 64bit on my desktop and when my computer is idle for around 15-20 minutes, it makes a single noise which I can only describe as a churn, (not a clicking noise of any kind that people mainly seem to post about) then my hard drive continues to make noise as if installing/processing something. I've tested this out at least 10 times and this singular noise only occurs at the idle point in the 15-20 minute region and immediately stops within 1 second of moving my mouse.
I found an 'idle hard disk' option in the Power Options of Control Panel, which by default was at 'turn off 20 minutes' which I was fairly confident this had solved this issue but it hasn't.
Before using W7 I had used XP for years and never experienced this idle issue, any help would be appreciated, thanks!
