Noise on loading games ect!

[tvno]

When loading games for example rainbow six siege, I get this noise, any idea what it is? (When my pc is stood idle on the home screen it does it every now and then for 1 second)

It's your hard drive making that sound.

something is grinding hardcore

may be your hdd

pray its a fan

[tvno]

is there a solution? is it a noise i should worry about?

It sounds like it your hard drive,

Could you try and put your ear close to the drive and see if the sound is louder there?

If it is then your hard drive isn't in good shape.

western digita 2tb less than 12 months old, pretty dissapointing

solution depends on the problem. open the PC and listen closely, particularly to the fans and HDD.

 

if it's a fan. then clear any potential obstructions, and try again, if it persists then you may be able to re-oil it

 

if it's the HDD, which i'm guessing it is, then the best solution is to get a new one (they come pretty cheap nowadays) and clone your current one. because that is not a happy sound for a HDD.

holy shit yes worry

unplug fans one at a time and see if it still happens

just pray its a fan

WD? It's normal AFAIK. All my WD drives(got 4 WD Black and 2 WD Green) started making that kind of noise after a couple months. They all lasted more than 5 years so it won't just die randomly. (and they still haven't died)
It's seek noise. It's not "grinding" (sound like it but really isn't).

This is especially true if it's a WD Black drive. Green and Blue drives does it too, but to a lesser extend.

Deferentially your HDD. I've got the same issue, I need to replace one of my HDDs

[don_svetlio]

seriously how do I remove this? My whole system goes crazy when I try....

the .mov file from the OP? Is it still open in the media player?

it's really not harmful in any case. Just reboot if you cannot remove it for some reason (I just clicked "open" and not "save" so I don't have that issue)

Rebooted several times. It wont open, it won't let me access the Trash Bin, it won't let me Empty the trash bin

I have a bunch of explorer.exe crashes for some reason. Motherfuck

[don_svetlio]

Seriously, how do I remove this thing?

back in my day, that's what hard drives actually sounded like. (they really did though...)

 

I wouldn't really worry at all - make sure your data is backed up and keep on trucking.

 

Loading up some diagnostic tools and doing some testing will quickly tell you the drive condition. I'd checkout Seagate Seatools or Western Digital Lifeguard and you'll soon know if it has an issue. (Seagate Seatools will work with any brand of drive, whereas i'm pretty sure WD Lifeguard needs a Western Digital disk)

@tvno has it always sounded like that or is it a recent development?

What drive is it?

 

Have many WD Blacks and they all sound like that, nothing to worry about unless it changes... If the noise got worse, it's possible that the mounting has shifted slightly and is now vibrating through the case worse, making it more noticeable.

 

Some drives are quiet (Seagate barricudas have always been fast and silent for me, when they weren't failing (old drives, not an issue anymore so much))

 

 

If your really worried about it dieing, check the diagnostic tools in the post above. But make sure that anything you need and cannot lose is backed up before doing any deep scans... The number of times I've seen people kill a drive off before getting their data is silly.

I hear fans, HDD and more fans. None of dangerous sounds. HDD is even fine. If you start experiencing crashes when accesing file explorer, backup and change drive/RMA. Otherwise thats normal action noise from mech HDD.

I think you have other issues and it's actually unrelated to that particular file... It's just that you "noticed" those issues when you got that file. Because really, it's just an audio record (most likely with an idevice considering it's .mov), there's absolutely nothing harmful to it.

Either that, or you have a malware on your PC that downloaded something else instead of the actual file. This can happen. Check your browser extensions if there isn't something fishy there and run malwarebyte. If explorer.exe is starting to crash as well, that's certainly NOT the original audio file's fault on totally something on your end that's failing on the software side due to something else.

Please make a thread in the Troubleshooting section if you want more help on the matter.

I got rid of it by deleting and generating a new recycle bin. The bugcode was 0xc0000094 from event viewer which was saying that explorer.exe/Explorer.EXE were crashing. Oddly enough only when looking at the file. When attempting to delete/open it I would get a flash to my base 8.1 color and then Windows Media Player/Recycle Bin would crash.

Ran chkdsk fearing a bad sector but it came back negative. After deleting the thing a random folder apepared called "40bbba2...." which was not present before. It had an installer in it. Malwarebytes came back clean as well.
