HDD making noise

Hello

My hard drive makes a 'click '.

Checked the activity monitor and there is nothing strange going on.

How can I solve this?

Thank you

You start the MBA in the recovery partition and select in menu 4 disk utility?

Do it, and run disk utility > first aid, verification and repair.

A HARD drive noises often mean that the drive has failed.

Ciao.

  • DVD rom keep making noise

    Two weeks ago, I bought a HP 2235tx g6. From the beginning, I just think it's normal that dvd rom keep making noise every 5-10 minutes (eventhough its empty). But now, I think that it is not normal. Is there a solution for this problem?

    Budi_hi,

    Your system does not have health monitor. He has Assistant support that does the same thing, but it mainly installs just the updates.

    Turn off the computer.
    That you put it on press the F10 key. This will load the BIOS setup utility.
    Press F9 to load the default values.
    Press F10 to save and exit.

    When the computer starts up, check if everything is working.

    You should also try updating windows.

    Here is a link that will guide you through the steps.

    It may be a hardware problem with the drive because it's happened since you've got the computer.

    You will have to perhaps call HP and see what options it must repair or replace the disk.

    Here is a link to a phone number to call HP.

    I would like to know how everything goes

    Nice day.

  • Apps for making noise

    Greetings, fans forum.

    I work with a school. I'm their iPad Manager... so everything that touches on the iPad falls in my field. That being said, I have a question.

    Are there apps that I can push my devices which make noise? My question is this: students keep losing their iPads and our MDM shows that these devices are correctly archive with the IP Address of the school. If I could use our MDM to lock the device in an application that makes noise, it would be easy to locate lost devices.

    The issue I'm having is that I can't use all the apps that require student accounts (not signed in) for legal reasons (for children under a certain age). Also, I can't use an app that would use a single login - example, if school had an account - because if the student removes the application, the account would obviously get signed. I can't turn off Remove apps on all devices (I did for the elementary children, but most children are able to remove the apps). So, I need an application that requires NO user account at all.

    I can push any application to any device remotely, but I am struggling to find an app that does just noise. My colleague and I were discussing trying to own app that does this, but we don't have a developer account.

    Thanks for the ideas. We use Apple iPad 1 look.

    I can push any application to any device remotely, but I am struggling to find an app that does just noise. My colleague and I were discussing trying to own app that does this, but we don't have a developer account.

    You can force a download, but can force you the application to run?

    Many games start with the music, I think remember me.  Can't find it now, but I'm looking.

    Here are the free applications and open source that you can modify.

  • p6130nl making noise after installing windows 7?

    Hi, I removed from Windows vista and installed Windows 7 (using a custom installation, not 'upgrade', so that the computer has been cleaned), but now it makes a humming noise when turned on. He had always made this noise then boot the system, but generally, it became quiet after the start-up had finished. Now, the noise persists. I already opened to check the fans, but they do not seem to be the problem; the noise continues even when I stop the fans spinning.

    What is the problem and how to fix it? It seems strange to me that something like clean the PC (deletion of all programs, etc., do not "clean up" the office itself) and installation of Windows 7 may cause sudden hardware problems...

    Thank you in advance!

    I managed to solve it after a night of messing around; installing new drivers did not work whether, since the problem is that it does not load the driver until the video Bios has been updated. And install other windows operating system did not help either, or formatting the drive etc etc etc.

    However, ultimately I just value all non-active disk partitions, rebooted the PC and went up in some menus weird (never seen that one before) which forced the office back to factory default (including the "thank you and welcome to your office purched brand-new", lol) and after that everything was done the graphics card acknowledged again and errors stopped. Being curious, I installed Windows 7 once again, and all the problems started once more. After a reset, I installed Windows 7 for the third time, but this time by using "update" rather than clean-install and that seems to work great so far.

    So: to assign all non-active partitions, and restart the PC. What he has done for me in the end.

    Have you tried the button on the optical drive emergency eject to release the CD? If this does not work also, this means that the mechanical parts of the optic disc is also defective.
