Ok I have had this problem for MANY months now and learn to put up with it. However this problem is now taking the biscuit.
Occasionally the computer will make a "ticking" noise and everything with freeze for 1 second per tick.
As soon as there is 4 ticks I get a blue screen and have to restart the computer. One day I noticed doing a Disk Defragment somehow sorted the ticking for like a month, but now it does it regardless so I think i hit a fluke.
My computer is around 4-5 years old now, only the G-card and motherboard have been replace (and fan but that came with motherboard)
I have suspicions its the Hard drive as I did a google search and I think its basically a sign "CHEAP SKANK GET A NEW HDD" and a sign the HDD is failing...
If anyone knows what could cause the ticking, and/or how to sort it that would be great.
