BlairOnTheRoad Posted June 28, 2011 ID:446512 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Hello i have this problem. This is actually my mothers computer... The hard disk keeps heating up right now the temperature is 57... Heres a screenshot:Uploaded with ImageShack.usI also scanned the hard disk with the check disk utility that comes with windows xp and it found 4 kbytes in bad sectors. Sometimes the computer crashes with blue screen. Is there anything that i can do to save this hard disk?Also can anyone tell me what these speed fan readings means? It shows 3 fans but only one of them is working or am i wrong?Uploaded with ImageShack.usI have a hard disk that i could change to replace this hard disk but it's a 40 gb ata hard disk and the one currently in use is a sata hard disk and i dont have the proper cables so i dont know what can i do.

rgabbard Posted June 28, 2011 ID:446594 Share Posted June 28, 2011 You could try adding a fan to the case that would blow air over the hard drive. Other than that the only thing that might be useful is dialing down the power settings, but that's not going to help much since XP is extremely limited.

Alex_computer Posted June 30, 2011 ID:447635 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Is there any airflow over the drive at all or is it in a corner without airflow? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
