    Hi,
    Recently i keep hearing funny noises around my HDD/GPU, not sure which it is...like constant spinning for a few seconds every 30 seconds or so. Not sure if it's the HDD spinning or the GPU fan being a buggger?! Im sure i found a thread on this a while ago, can't seem to locate now!

    Regards

    James

    edit: my bad, could mods please move to correct thread, thank you :)
