Hi I recently downloaded a video and when I open the folder it's in or try to play it my Hard Drive goes crazy really loud grinding noises. I have checked the video for virus but nothing is coming up. What could it be?

back up you data immediately, schedule a surface scan on all partitions then reboot your pc and have it checked for errors!

Today's subliminal thought is: 'Calm down ... it's only ones and zeros.'

excessive noise can indicate failing hardware.

Give a person a fish, they eat for a day. Suggest they internet search and they learn a skill for a lifetime.
