so basically you are saying that something of my hardware is not compatible with my pc
i am running on windows xp pro and have 1gb of ram could a stick of ram be bad ??
it has been doing it more an more frequent lately just does it any time even when im playing a game it just stops :-(

Try to listen where that "click" comes from , i have a feeling that that click comes from the harddrive.
If it is then it could mean that its gona die soon , just in case i would make some backups.
How old is the HD and what brand is it?

the make of the HD is Maxtor and it is a 120gb and its about 8months old

I thought i would be a Maxtor...

Check the temperture of the HD with one of the tools here:

I think it will be running pretty hot ,maxtor's are known for that.
And even though it is only 8 months old it could die soon if it's been running at a too high temperture.
The best thing you can do is back everything up and take it back to the shop since its still under warrenty.

aint MAxtor any good then ?? emm my HD is running at 39 degrees is that to much? :|

p.s thank you very much for the tool

I myself like Seagate better ,i have heard alot about crashing Maxtors and i have had one maxtor myself and that started clicking and died but that one was running 45/55 degrees.

I could hear the HD activety stop ,then a very high pitched sound getting higher(barely hearable) and then the click , after that i could hear the HD ratling a bit (catching up) and all was ok again. All together it took maybe a second but it takes alot longer to write. lol
