    hi all

    I bought new sz 36o recently. I hear cracking noise from left side when booting and opening any programs. This type of noise comes only from very old computers.

    Plz tell me what should I do?

    my guess is it maybe the hard drive as it is being read it usually tends to make a kind of cracking sound while been accessed

    Thanks for reply. I also think that it is from hard disk. But my guess is only old hard disks make that sound :mad:
