Hi guys, here's my current system:
Core i7 920 @ 3.0ghz
12 GB DDR3 1600mhz
GA-EX58-UD5
Seventeam 850w PSU
3 hard disks of 1TB each
Double evga Geforce GTX 285 in SLI
Windows 7 64bits
What's been happening is that my hard drives keep making ticking noises from times to times (mostly when I try to access them), and that ticking noise usually occurs before a one to two second freeze (where I am free to move the mouse pointer). When I used Mac OSX86 on the machine the ticking noise happened, but I noticed that there was no freezing, whereas windows has a small freeze time.
Every Hard Drive that I put on that machine eventually starts having ticking noises (literally, every hard drive, and it's about 6 already). I thought that the problem was the PSU, since from times to times the screen goes black and the pc freezes when I play a game (when this happens audio works normally while everything else stops responding).
I tried so many Defrag softwares without a hint of success.
I bought another PSU that's supposed to arrive tomorrow (750w corsair), but I'm wondering if the problem really is the PSU or if it's the files that I have.
Thanks for the help.
