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!)

USB or something. It doesnt have to be top of the line or fast just big enough to store things. Awards
