http://myfastercomputer.com/ • Make sure your computer isn't slow because of a failing hard drive otherwise things could be worse than you think! • • • http://myfastercomputer.com/hardware-... • • 1. Crashes • More often than not, regular BSODs (Blue Screen of Death) and random reboots indicate problems with your computer. Crashes when opening files and folders are usually one of the warning signs of your system’s drive dying. Retrieving data at this point can be difficult since you usually can’t open your files through all of the reboots so act quickly. • 2. Extended Wait Time To Access Files • If it takes you more than 15-30 minutes to open a file, that’s another indicator that your hard drive is giving out on you. While this symptom could easily be mistaken as a harmless occurance, such as another program open that’s eating up more of the computing power, don’t let this slide. • 3. Unusual Sounds • Learn the sound of your hard drive during it’s early life so that you can easily recognize the differences as time goes on. Act quickly because you never truly know how much time you have left. • 4. Missing Files • Your files that have gone missing from your desktop or unable to open at all. A good portion of your family photo’s folder is gone. Photoshop stops working because it can’t find the necessary files to run. • These are all huge red flags when it comes to the health of your hard drive. Unless someone else moved your files without you knowledge, make sure to take the necessary actions against losing your data. • 5. Your drive is no longer being recognized • Drives that are not being found by the system can usually be attributed to a failing hard drive, not the computer itself. Find an external enclosure for your hard drive and hook it up to another system such as your laptop or your friend’s desktop. • Facebook: / myfastercomputer • Twitter: / myfastercomp
