hard drive
I have a very load buzzing noise coming from the computer when gaming, so i tried to investigate by opening the case and i found the noise coming from the hard drive, normally the hardrive doesnt make a sound, but when gaming it makes a buzzing noise the noise appears to come after i have been gaming for about 1hr i think its to do with the cooling_! or not but what i want to know is if anybody else has had the problem and can anyone sugest some decent cooling from front to back of case. The buzzing noise is not constant it is sort of intermittent heeeelp

Initially there's very little need for your PC to access the drive but, as time goes by, it reaches a point where the Pc is constantly trying to access different locations on the drive at very high speed. So the normal quiet clicking sound (which can be heard whenever a drive is being accessed) turns into a constant buzz.
