HardDrive clicks, computer slows, then freezes up
In November of last year I bought a 250 gb Maxtor hardrive. The hard drive was working fine up until February.
One day i was playing the new Prince of Persia game and during the game I start to hear the harddrive make a noise. So I stop playing game and uninstalled it, hoping it would stop the noises, and it did for a while, but then the clicking sound came back. I would hear the click and then the HD would freeze up. As the weeks went on it started happening more frequently until one day I get home and turn on the computer, it goes to the loading screen, flashes the blue screen of death and restarts. I had to take out the 250 gb and use a spare drive I had with 120 gb. I started playing another new game Act of War direct action and everthing was going fine until one day I hear the same click from a different HD.
When I go to the event viewer I get this:
Source: Disk
Event ID: 51
Type: warning
Version: 5.2
An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation.
An error was detected on device %1 during a paging operation.
Explanation
An input/output (I/O) request to a memory-mapped file failed and the operation was retried.
Running Windows xp with Service Pack 2
Intel Pentium 4 2.4gb Dual processor
i also have a 60 gb hard drive hooked up as a slave
Can anyone help me, thanx a lot
