hi,
i had a scary experience a few minutes ago. i put on the computer, (i hadn't
used it all day), and it started making a loud noise, it sounded as if the hard
drive was spinning really fast. i checked the cd drives and no cd was inside.
jaws started but the noise still carried on, so i shut down the computer but
even after it was off, the noise carried on. only when i turned the mains
switch off did it stop. i waited a few minutes and taking my courage in my
hands turned on the computer. it seems okay. but what is wrong? is it on it’s
last legs? i have only had it 4 four years, stupidly i didn’t renew the
warranty which ran out earlier in the year. the computer isn’t likely to
explode or anything is it if the noise comes back. what should i do now?
thanks, Husna
