    Sorry, I meant that I didn't understand the cause and was just trying to throw out some more ideas. I did update the bios successfully as well as the Sata Controller on the board.

    At this point I'm going to try to simplify the problem by doing a fresh install of Win 7 and letting that take up the whole drive. I'm wondering if that EasyBCD program was causing some problems w/ the dual boot setup.

    I'll report back

I understand normal Hard drive noises. Indeed, I am an engineer retired from the hard drive business. I heard abnormal clicks coming from my 1.0TB Hitachi drive during shutdown / restart. It started recently. Multiple click-click click-click about 5 repetitions before the CPU resets / power...
