Whenever I play a graphic instensive game, ie Clear sky, it makes this high pitch wailing noise, and it goes higher as the the speed increases. It's pretty loud D:

Is this normal, or am I looking into investing a new HDD.
 
Are ya sure it's your hard drive? I thought if it was your hard drive, it would make that noise if you were doing anything to cause your hard drive to write new information.

Better asking Asus.
 
If you have any sensative data I would back it up just to be safe. Might seem like common sense but you'd be suprised.
 
I'd see if the warranty's still good and get a new one ASAP. My old drive started making noises like that and pretty soon the whole thing was totally ****ed. Lost a hell of a lot, and you don't want that happening.
 
Ill record the sound and youtube it.
 
When I read Asus's post I just felt such a feeling of .. I felt he really knew how to take care of the situation. I felt safe, even though this isn't my thread. I felt like a woman should feel around a man. Asus, if I was a chick, your computer knowledge would turn me on.
