Laptop hard drive runs for 3 seconds, stops, and causes freezing
I've looked all over for help but alas; nothing.
Put simply, I'm using a decent Lenovo B560 laptop, and when playing games or running programs linked to the hard drive disk, it freezes intermittently.
Not sure what's causing it, but the whirring of the disk drive can be heard for about 3 seconds, at which point it slows down, and then the game freezes until the hard drive starts whirring again. It doesn't seem to be able to keep itself running in order to keep playback fluid; it just keeps spinning long enough to power 3-4 seconds of playback.
Any ideas?
System is 7 64 bit, with Intel Core i5 CPU M480 @
