I used the 15 day trial version and it rocks. It copied the entire drive to a new drive with no problems, os and everything!!
So I booted up her system after cloning the drive, only to have the same loud noise!!!!! grrrrrrrrrrr
I looked at the guts which is what I should have done in the first place instead of assuming and found the processor fan was moving very slow. Ofcourse that is why the system was shutting down. Heat build-up. So back to MPC to get a 18 dollar fan. All fixed she says geeeze so we did not need to buy that 65 dollar hard drive !!
:cry:
I said true but you now have 4 times the space :lol: |
I asked Smart Kid as I started reading your post and he right away said fan...then I read you figured out it was the fan. Smart kid is awesome at fixing computers and writing programs. He's even built a few computers from scratch. Did you already buy a fan? He said he has one here if you want it.

Yes I bought a fan. When I look back at how I handled the issue, I broke every rule in diagnostics book. It is a good think the unit was plugged in because that is the classic mistake, tear the whole computer apart trying to figure out why it it not boot-up only to find when it is completely apart that it was NOT PLUGGED IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I should have opened up the unit but I made asumtions and you know what that means.
I guess the fan was the last thing I ever thought would break.
Now if someone can tell me why my usb drivers go wacky with my external hard drive,I'd be a happy boy!!!!
and beleive or not I have built 3 computers myself.
