Spinning Out of Control

Too much data? Overused? Virtual memory too large?

I’m sure you already know what I’m talking about. My hard drive has been making weird noises lately. A friend of mine told me that my disk is telling me something. I wonder what it is.

Well, I’m not entirely clueless as to what it is. When your hard disk starts clicking or grinding, it’s definitely telling you that something’s not right. But the thing is, my PC not even that old. It’s practically new, so how could its components turn cuckoo coo this early?!?

I tried to check several Web sites over the Internet to seek clarification on my problem and suspicion. True enough, many of them confirmed my fears. The noises that my hard disk is emitting are symptoms of an impending crash.

I guess it’s not enough that I keep the files in it defragmented. Optimization alone won’t keep one’s PC in tip top shape. You have to take care of it physically. Don’t subject it to unnecessary abuse. Yes, even when you are really having a bad day…
