A Super Strange Problem

Okay, maybe we have a lot of processor activity. Check to see if something is grabbing a lot of cpu. Also, I liked the idea of checking for malware and viruses. Sorry, can't recall if Ken or somebody else said that.
And actually, writing to the disk would cause the sound you are hearing. Ken, would that be indexing or something else?

many thing can be causing Disk Activity.

Indexing would certainly cause some thrashing & HD activity.

But I would think, if the PC has be running for 2-3 days that most of the main indexing would be complete by now.


AntiVirus scanning, and Defragmenting are a couple others I can think of right off that would be create a lot of disk useage.

You might try opening the task manager, and click the resource manager box.

Then look under the "Disk" tab. It should be able to pinpoint whats using your disk.

Virus scan is done, full scan, no viruses. Nothing running now except for Internet Explorer and the problem is still happening.

I don't recall, but did you check for malware. Specifically, I'd like you to install malwarebytes, then reboot your computer into safe mode, and run that program. I'm highly suspicious, as you indicated this problem only occurs when you hear a noise (which I assume to be disk activity).
