I'm running a Dell Inspiron desktop with Windows 7. Every now and then my hard drive will, "take off" and really start revving. It sounds like a turboprop spooling up when they take the prop out of feather.
It doesn't happen on any particular website or file. It could be any, including this one. Then after a minute or so it slows down. This has happened on my wife's computer as well. And most all of them that I have had over the years. What causes this, and what is happening when it does?
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but about every month or so I'll be on the Internet, (again here, there, or most anywhere), and I'll get the dreaded "blue screen of death". And it will go into, "Crash Dump".
This lasts for about a minute, then it prompts me to, "Start Windows Normally" which I do. It then reboots and everything is fine. Just like Serve Pro, it's like it never happened. I suspect it might be some type of virus, I don't know. But it doesn't damage or lose anything when this happens. Has anyone else had this happen on their PC?
