I have a Hitachi DesKstar hds728080plat20 80GB
and its already happened to me twice that my computer will only freeze while playing Sims2 but right when its freezing i see lag and then i hear the hhd make the same whine up whine down and click sound it makes when i turn on the computer and then nothing
so that makes me suspect its the hhd (its about 5 years old on normal use and about 8 total formats, i havent formatted it for a good year now) the way i see it and think about it, sims2 is more of a videocard/cpu usage type of game so when my hhd isnt used it spins down and then it has a problem spin back to life so possibly its starting to wear out
now my question is, am i right? is the hhd about to die on me?
could it be just a sims2 error since it only happened while i was playing sims2?
