These are the victims, just over the last 48 hours failing hard drives.
- Grinding Noise
- You hear “Ticking” in the back of the PC and/or in the tower.
- If Windows is very very slow, may not be a virus. That could me a sign of hard drive failure.
I am finding that the older PC’s with the “Spinning” hard drives 5 years or older. The drives have given a good life and just need to be replaced with a newer hard drive. Never wait if you are having issues like above. The longer it sits there making noise, the less of change, we can pull the older data off. Then sign up with a cloud provider, so if you do get a failure again, it will be easy to recover your data next time.
Have a great day!
