Computer keeps doing disk check and restarting when switch..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

That clicking sound you hear is commonly called "the click of doom" or "the
click of death".
Your hard drive is dying. If your computer is under warranty, call the
manufacturer.
If it is not under warranty, visit a reputable computer repair shop.
