    For 3 months my harddrive has been makings a clicking noise (like a clock second hand tick tock but sometimes for a really long tock) and its driving me crazy. Anyone else's doing that or know a remedy? Also, when I try to put my computer to sleep it turns the screen off for a second then turns it on in the log on screen. Hibernation is gone too...sorta weird. I havent been on here in a few months, so sorry if this stuff as already been asked.
