Just got Windows 7, laptop making weird sound....
I have a 2 year old HP dv6700 (I think that's what it is) and lately it's been making a weird buzzing/grinding sound and with research from google ingot reason to beleive it was either a - fan problem or b - hard drive about to fail. Well it was making this sound when I had vista too, I jus got 7 two days ago and the sound started about 3 weeks ago. Me bein the idiot I am, would hit my laptop and give it a good smack and the sound would stop, well I jus had it over at my friends and I tried the whole hit it and it shuts up technique and the whole laptop jus shutoff. Now I turn it on and it jusbtakes me to some system recovery screen where I can't do anything. What the he'll can I do and what type of person should i take it too? Did my hard drive finally fail? And if it fails once is it toast, and how much would a new laptop hard drive cost? Pls help I gotta get this problem fixed asap I need my laptop badly. Someone jusbhelp.
