[dba-Tech] Hard drive

It could be anything John -- the computer is exhibiting other symptoms. I 
can be working fine, with several apps open, and no problem and then all the 
sudden, it just locks up and I have to hard boot -- I get that End Program 
message from Windows alot. I try to close things down properly and sometimes 
I can, but just as often... I have to turn off the power.

Then this morning... the whine.

It's an old computer and I don't mind repairing rather than buying new -- I 
just don't need anything more powerful for writing and that's all I'm doing 
now.

Interestingly, the same thing's happening to both systems. I keep them 
turned off at night now instead of leaving them on 24/7 and for some reason, 
that seems to help.
