Having computer problems. It makes a terrible sound, like a golf ball being bounced on a piece of sheet metal. It will lock up, automatically restart and sometimes either lock up or restart in the middle of the restart.

Then starting up a few mintues ago it told flashed a warning on the bottom of the screen saying to do a back up and replace the hard drive as a failure could happen soon.

That's comforting.

That's also the last thing I need right now. I have my gyno appt Fri, my car's air conditioner needs fixing and I 'm still looking for somewhere to live.

And just this morning I thought that I could just buy a second CPU and strip the hard drive out of the old one if nothing is wrong with it along with the cd drive and put it in the new one. Or just buy a second one and network it to this one. But if the hard drive is shot, oh, well.

Maybe a fiddleback crawled up in there and died.

It was fine until about a week and a half ago when I dusted it. So I bought canned air and took off the cover and cleaned it out, but it didn't help.
