Kenikeli Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 might not be hard drive, may be the fan on the processor. If it cuts out occasionally this is due to overheating and the BIOS turning off pc to save the processor from burning out. U may be able to check cpu fan speed in the bios when u switch on, hold down either, F2, F10, or delete key to enter CMOS Setup or bios, they all the same. Should be running at around 4,000 rpm, though it may be less for laptops. Check it out anyway, cheaper than a new Hard drive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollz Posted March 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Thanks, think my laptop has been on standby and not off for a few days, so it has perhaps over-heated? If it does need fixed, thankfully I have insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will cause your fan to stop rotating and will overheat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Lees Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Okay, without lowering the tone...How do I see is there is anything stuck in the fan? Have you tried sticking your finger in and wiggling it about a bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
