HDD might be failing.

Hey guys.

So I put my PC into sleep mode and the HDD went crazy, lots of buzzing and other noises then it blue screened, So i ran a memory test and everything was fine no problems there. I ran a Disk Error Check in Auslogics BootSpeed program and it came up that there are disk error ( http://bit.ly/MU0YW5 ) .

I really am not sure on what to do next. I'm thinking of maybe purchasing an Intel 520 series SSD.

Thanks.

If you're still in warranty with PCS, ring them up and ask for a replacement drive

You'd need to copy across any data you want to keep obviously

If it's out of warranty, get the SSD, install windows on that and then keep the HDD and see how it goes, if it dies not the end of the world if you have your data off it

Ok guys I've been looking around the web and from what other people are saying its a graphics card driver issue. I'm going to re-install the latest geforce driver and see if it will fix it.

ok guys problem is fixed! it was the graphics card driver messing up when the PC was put into sleep mode.

I just re-installed the driver and it was fixed.

Good stuff
What version did you have install? Did you just do a clean installation?

I just simply re-installed the same version i was using. no clean install.
