Recently I had an upgrade on one of my PC I added a 512Mb Nvidia Graphic card and 500GB seagate 7200Rpm HDD, Now the new HDD is producing a high pitched squeek/beep i cant really tell and on reboot my XP sector 63 gets corrupted, so I get reboot error. I gave the HDD for replacement but the replaced one too makes the noice, yet the HDD does not produce sound on my gaming rig.

What is the power rating of your power supply (in watts). It sounds like you're overloading your PS, and the output voltages are dropping out of specification, which is causing the hard drive to misbehave. – Fake Name Apr 25 '10 at 4:25
my smps is 450 watt – POTHEN Apr 25 '10 at 10:51
