....I just noticed the noise is not there after a reboot but after a fitst
boot of the day hte noise is there. I did a search and found here:

....there, is a similar problem, well not so similar, but it does refer to a
harddrive spinning up which is similar in nature to the problem, and after a
reboot the problem is not there which is also similar to my problem but I do
not have that update installed and Belarc whatsit tells me the only update I
don't have installed is an update for Word Viewer...and do you think I can
locate it anywhere...even in WIndows Update by doing an auto update or manual
scan at Microsoft Update....?....well....noooooooo I can not! ...I just
thought I would try to be funny there...I guess I'm not funny at all...well
not humorously funny.
Meanwhile I have bought a new motherboard.

The noise sounds very much like a hard drive clacking and after.
experimenting with the fans and listening closely to them the noise does not
seem to be coming from a fan.
...just for interests sake... I had 4 front case LEDs and one LED went out
and I found a loose Molex connector wire. After I pushed it into the rear of
the molex connector the front case LED that went out came on again. I may
have another loose molex wire somewhere but I don't think so and I will
check.
The noise disappears after 15 seconds. It really sounds more like a hard
drive noise.
I have 2 Sata1, (not Sata2), hard drives 80GB each and the same model
installed in an Asrock775V88+ computer and the PSU is a Thermaltake...and I
hopefully will remember not to buy a Thermaltake PSU again....it was cheap.
I have thought to install SMART software and will someone recommend a SMART
software so I could perhaps inspect the hard drives.
I did format the hard drives with Seagate's Disk Wizard from a bootable CD
before I installed Windows XP Home Edition.
Previously I installed a Sata RAID card and RAID1 'd the 2 Sata hard drives.
The raid card began emitting sparks from the motherboard PCI slot
synchronizing with each loud clacking noise...would you believe it! And
there was a lot of sparks each time there was a clack!
Anyhow, I removed the card and this noise has developed. I am sure the noise
was not there straight after Windows XP Home Edition SP2 was installed.
It is possible the motherboard is damaged because I left a motherboard mount
beneath the motherboard and the PSU blew up...initially it blew sparks out
the rear when I switched it on but dumb me reckoned because the computer
worked I should just let it work and so for another 5 or 6 times I switched
the computer on with heavy sparks shooting out the back of the PSU and that
was very scary.... I had a new PSU before this new noise started.
Before I buy a new motherboard I would like to sort out the noise. I had
replaced the Sata hard drive I used in the RAID1 array with another I had
after I formatted the system with Disk Wizard and reinstalled Windows XP.
...lol...please have pity on me...you needn't...
