Here's a rundown:
In April, fan started to make a buzzing noise after the laptop has been on for a while. Loudness changes with laptop tilt, can get pretty damn loud
1) Dropped laptop from my lap when playing a game once. The game freezed, and kept freezing after fresh installs.
2) Then noticed some files would freeze when transferring them, had crc errors when unzipping files.
3) Experienced some blue screens with kernal data errors or something...
Ran scan disk on both C and D drives, seemed to solve the problem.
Then a few weeks later had a blue screen. Also had another a few days ago.
From 2 days ago, whenever I restart the PC, I get a smart message saying that there is an imminent hard drive failure, and to back up my data!
-------------
So, I am guessing I have a broken fan and in need of a new hard drive, I don't know if the problems are related? The bottom of it does get quite hot when its been working hard.
Is it relatively straight forward to replace a fan and hard drive. I've opened up the laptop before had a litle poke around with the fan, couldn't really see anything that it was catching on.
Really not happy, the laptop is only 18 months old and cost a lotta dosh!
Thanks in advance!
