a deep humming noise coming from it that wasn't there yesterday! I've switched it off and on again and it's still there, it's really annoying. Anyone any ideas? It's not going to blow up is it? All my games are saved in there! : (

does the humming noise stop when the laptop is idle and no programs are running?
just another thought - do you have a CD/DVD in your drive - might be worth removing it.
