ooooooohhhhhhhh, when my computer crashed, the first question I heard was " you back up daily, yes?"  \nI do now.\nBut, I am curious if anyone can answer your desperate plea.............

Some noises are normal and some are indicators that certain hardware like the hard drive may have a scratch on it or may be on it's way out. I would suggest backing up your data that you want to keep (Windows has a Backup Wizard found in accessories) and either wait for it to go out or have it looked at by an A+ Technician. Do not take no for an answer when you ask for an A+ Technician also ask for thier CompTia A+ Card.\nJohn\nA+ Certified Professional

You might not be able to back them up, but this is what you need to do before you buy a new hard disk to see if this one will work.\n\n1.Press F8 when it is starting up it will go to safe mode. (might not work.)\n\n2. Make sure the hard drive is properly hooked up, IDE cable Or the sata cable depending on what kind of hard drive you need to make sure it is going to the motherboard, and is connected properly there, also make sure the power connector is plugged in right.\n\nDo this though you have a small chance of getting your data back. Purchase a new hard drive, you need to know what kind is compatible with your motherboard. Then go to compusa, circuit city, bestbuy, or on the internet go to http://www.newegg.com or http://www.tigerdirect.com and buy the right hard drive. When you bought your computer you should have recieved recovery discs, (if you didnt you can order then from whoever assembled your computer for 10 bucks. Then install the hard drive, and reinstall windows. This is the time where you might have a chance to get your data back. \nPut the old primary drive that does not work in the slave drive, and it will come up in my computer.\n\nHope This Helps\n\n\n\n\nNote: This is only for a desktop computer,  and that is what i am assuming you have.

If this is your hard drive, you should TURN OFF the power.   That sound could be from the hard drive, and you have little time left.  Save your data and make backups, then get a new drive.   \n\nGood luck

If the machine is open use the following standard:  \n\n1). Always check connections first (remove and reinsert) - keyb, mouse, usb, video cable (all outside).  CPU chip, memory chip, video card (and others if present), power to motherboard, fans, reset or power button stuck, data and power cables to devices.  \n\n2).Follow (within limits) process of elimination:  If success add next most basic thing and continue until failure.  Move cards and memory to different slots as a quick test.  Remove everything but CPU chip and power to M/B.  Beep test - power up and listen for series of beeps;  no beep=check CPU, M/B or existence of  beeper/speaker.   Add memory, beep test.  Add video, look for output.  \n\nAt this point, test the hard disk LAST so it wont boot windows or be hammered for every test.\n\nAdd a power cable to floppy and test.  Add a data cable to same device and test, then try to boot a floppy.  Add power to next device, test, then add data to the device and test - etc.  Then add each card until failure.  Any failed item should be thoroughly checked out unless you're rich and will replace it then and there.  Sometimes certain M/B will not power up or boot without CPU and memory chip combo.  Some are intelligent enough to allow only CPU.  \n\nIf you are uncomfortable with any of this, take your box to a PC guru friend or a service and have them do a flavor of the above.  Don't let them tell you the thing is hosed - make 'em show you something from the above or similar tests.

What your computer starts up, it does a POST (Power-On Self-Test). It is normal for a computer to have 1 beep. Multiple tells you that something is wrong with the system.  You didn't specify how many beeps there was or length thereof. \n\nA steady short beeps says Power Supply may be bad. \nLong continuous beep tone says Power Supply is bad or not plugged into board correctly.\nSteady, long beeps says Power Supply is Bad\nGriding noises that is outside normal cpu processing may suggest a CPU fan problem.\n\nIf it is the power supply issue, you need to replace it. This can be tricky because small computer (2 cdrom bays) requires Micro ATX Power Supply. Midtower (Has 3 CD bays in front) can fit ATX power supply.\n\nIf Griding noises from cpu fan, just goto local computer store and tell them what processor you have. Rep can probably help you. And they are a easy to install.\n\n\nYour aim problem may suggest a virus or hacker.  I recommend getting BitDefender Anti-Virus. And download their CD recovery iso. It uses BitDefender for Linux and boots.

Should start automatically but if you know when it stopped doing it roughly then you could do a system restore to a point just before you had problems.

Why did you take the battery somewhere to be charged if the laptop is not on but you have it plugged in you are charging the battery.  Check the metal connectors on the battery for corrosion, dirt, etc....  When you hit the power button does it make any noise(beep, humming?)?

probably. turn on a taperecorder and go to sleep. listen in the a.m. . listen carefully. the volume will be low.

Uh, oh.\n\nClicking sounds = very bad.\n\nThat means your hard disk actuator is fried.  You need to buy a new hard drive, and chances are very good you will not be able to save the data off the old one.\n\nI've heard that if you put a clicking hard drive in the freezer overnight it will work for 10-15 minutes - long enough to copy a few key files off, but I've never tried it myself.

First thing to check is the CMOS settings. When you turn the machine on, it should beep once and produce something on the screen.  Some machines will print a message like "press F2 for set up", others will want you to press "delete", some "esc", and "cntrl-alt-s".  Anyway, if you don't get any beeps OR you get multiple beeps, then it's a configuration problem.\n\nNext thing to check is if the hard drive spins up.  Open your case, get a wooden spoon from the kitchen, put the small end on the hard drive and the spoon end to your ear, and turn on the machine.  If you don't hear it spin up, replace it.\n\nIf the CMOS setting can be retrieved, and the hard drive spins up, you should get a message on the screen like Bad MBR, No operationg system, etc.  These can be fixed by reinstalling the operating system or using tools from the operating system to recove them.\n\nCheck these things out, then ask another question once you have more details.
