~Commission TOS*Commission Prices and Que*Commission Email: Sanocommissions@yahoo.com~ okay... so Im gonna call my desktop offically dead, unless one of you local furs are computer savvy enough to figure out what's wrong X.x
i was using it earlier and it was working just fine... then, for no apparent reason, it completely froze up. I shrug it off and restart. Works fine again, for a little while at least. Then, again for no apparent reason, it freezes again...I groan, complain and bitch and then restart it. the screen pops up saying that it couldn't start properly and if i wanted to use safe mode...i was going to try safe mode, but again it FROZE before i could even move my damn bar... so i reboot again.. this time i won't even progress past the first screen that pops up...
soooooo yeah..... >.> I'm been trying(and failing) to save for a new computer, but i have nowhere near enough to buy even a netbook....
But i still have my laptop, as shitty as it is. It runs the internet and my chat program...its too low-end in this day and age to play any games at a decent settings though so no more WoW or SL for me for a bit.. which works as i just paid my rent on my parcel and my wow time is pretty much up at this point XD
*sighs* The only thing i can do at this point is either find someone who can help me get a computer for super cheap, make hundreds of dollars in commissions(HA!) or resort to the rent-to-own store...
honestly, the only VIABLE option is the rent-to-own store, regardless of how ridiculously overpriced it may be. I CAN afford it on my paycheck, especially since i get paid weekly and my schedule is pretty much set for the time being, in fact i'm getting even more hours, which i take as a good thing... either way, if i work at it, i could probably get it paid off, and if i pick out a computer with a proper tower, i could just upgrade it later if needed as i dunno what kind of computers they sell at those places as i haven't been in one for a few years now...
anyway, just figured I'd like my friends know I'll probably be sparce around the interwebs for a while as I have grown to dislike my laptop immensely and only use it for a movie player
nowadays...
See you guys when i sees you

If you hear a repetitive, metallic clicking, the hard drive is done. You may be able to (if VERY careful) recover some stuff, but if not, hope you had backups.
If the power supply itself is where the rattling noise comes from it's probably the fan. That's easy to replace if you can't afford a new PSU - you just have to be a bit careful and be smart about electricity.

When you state, Arzahan, that it "won't even get to boot past that" - do you mean that you don't get a POST screen at all, or do you mean that it just won't boot into the HDD?
as for the noise, its definately the fan rattling, as its not the same as the clicking that i heard before, which means the clicking was the hard drive.
thankfully i have a portable so i can try to pull stuff
as for watching me... i dunno XD
Okay, on the HDD, pull off the files you absolutely must have, do not dick around with sorting etc. That was my mistake and I lost years of photos for it.
On the rattling of the PSU, to be honest, unless your PC puts off a HUGE amount of heat, it's a non issue. You should get it handled eventually but it is not a priority.
On the HDD - if you can do so, boot from another source (USB thumbdrive, 2nd hard drive, Linux Live CD) as it will reduce the amount of HDD usage to the bad drive, allowing you to pull data off it better.
