Hello, I was given this computer from a dear friend of mine who moved back to his country and there seems to be a problem with it that I could not solve.
Well the problem is that the computer seems to make a loud single click mixed with powering on and off noise sometimes. if the computer didn't make the noise at start and is not touched further it runs smoothly, but if it did make a noise it seems to freeze and sometimes repeats the noise until shut down.
I did some tests to narrow down the problem, I switched the hard drive and it still caused the sound
I took down the dvd rom drive and it seems to cause the freeze less frequently
I also bought a new CPU, graphic card and ram around a year ago, but the freezing occurred before and after the upgrade.
Sometimes when I play a game it makes the sound but dose not freeze the game itself, only when I try to escape back to windows everything is frozen
It seems like when ever I plug in a internal hard drive or cd/dvd player it seems to freeze.
here is my spec
AMD Phenom 9750 Quad core 2.40ghz
8.00gb of ddr2 ram
ga-ma770-s3 motherboard
Nvidia geforce gtx460
500W Vpower PSU
Ask me anything, I only had this computer for about 2 years and had this problem ever since. It was more frequent at first but now it only happens once or twice a week randomly.
