My Computer

[Daevion]

I re-formated my hard-drive and reinstalled windows...well actually I had Dani do it cuz...well she knows a bit more about computers than I do....I'm jus plain stupid when it comes down to computers and what makes em work or not work....lol

Did re-formatting fix anything? could try checking the 80 mm case fans cause those things are cheap and crap out easily....I had one on an older box make this grinding noise during boot-up, than tapping the fan would fix temporarily...I finally just unplugged it from the psu.

If it turns out to be a dying hard drive and you need a new one cheap go here: Newegg
