There is a sound coming from my computer. It sounds like a switch being turned on and off. It happens intermittenly. I opened the case and it sounds like its coming from where my drives are shelved. Anyone experience this before?
Thanks
Rex

That sounds like a dying hard drive.If you haven't already backed up everything, you better get it done very fast.

Yep, it was my hard drive. It's history now. But, I did have it backed up! Still sucks though!
Thanks for the info!
