Guess what my pos computer started doing a couple weeks?
It starts ticking in the hard drive and somtimes keeps going and somtimes locks up.

When i started it once here are the messeges it comes up with.

Error: An I/O subsystem driver failed to load.
Either a failure in the./iosubsys subdirectories is corupt or the system is low on memory. (it is nit low on memory it has 30gb free)

another is

General failure reading drive C.
Abort Retry Fail::



i think it is either the power supply or the hard drive is screwed.

i have had to get new hard drives before. (they were always under warenty so i hope if thats the problem this is under warrenty).


my hard drive is a 40 gb hard drive.

can anyone help :confused: :confused: :confused:
 
im not sure, but a computer guy from a store said if a hard drive is tiking its failing,
also, i herd if you seal it in a plastic bag, and put in in to a freezer for a while, you will get a little more life from it if you need to get info off it. i wouldnt do this untill someone confirms it, i wouldnt want to ruin the hard drive
 
another prob with my pos comp

better my this quick before this pos freezes again . :mad: :mad:
this morning it had another message.

Missing or corrupt
C:\Windows\HIEM.sys
\DBLBUFF.sys
\IFSHLP.sys


if you have any idea what this or the first post means (even a vauge idea would be helpful) plz post here..

sounds like you're just experiencing harddrive failure.

if your PSU was failing you shouldn't hear clicks from your HDD. It would jsut shutoff/freeze if it didn't have enough power.

The ticking is usually caused by one of the reading arms on the HDD. It might be loose or just malfunctioning. If its loose it can scratch/hit the disks in your HDD and cause data corruption and what not.

Only way to fix a broken HDD is to replace it most of the time. Opening the HDD almost always ruins it, it needs to be vacuum sealed/no dust in the air. That and it voids warraanty you depend on for the return.
