I noticed something was wrong when the level loading took longer than usual, and when I finally joined the game was freezing and stutter, a lot. I also noticed my HDD making a very obnoxious ticking sound, and before I knew it my game froze, then my computer, and on restart I was staring at a BIOS screen. My HDD is dead, on my birthday, on a long weekend I had hoped to spend in part gaming. I've tried recovery on another computer, its totally fried mechanically, I don't have the know-how to open the case up and replace what I assume is a broken arm. The good news is I've ordered a new, bigger HDD and a smaller SSD (so I can give recording a try!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB or something. It doesnt have to be top of the line or fast just big enough to store things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
