Laptop hard drive problem

[jere01]

I just built my ECS G736 notebook and love it except for one thing. When the notebook is sitting idle, everything is fine. The problem is that when I open a window (any window) and start to drag it around the screen, the hard drive makes a high frequency clicking sound as if it's reading something off the drive. It also does this when I am playing a game.. I get this constant clicking noise the whole time I'm playing. The drive i'm using is a 40 gig Toshiba MK4019GAX. I have definitely pin pointed the noise to be coming from the hard drive but I just have no idea why.

Any help would be great!

Thanks

It's probably just the accessing noise it makes. Some drives have acoustic management that lets you set different levels of noise vs performance. Or your drive could be dying, try running the diagnostic from the drive maker.
