Signs that your Hard Drive is failing, like mine...

13 January 2018

Most everyone has a PC desktop nowadays.  We all rely on it for our day to day routine, our kids' homework, for some their work if they're lucky enough to work-from-home.  It's an indispensable tool.

But what if this dependable tool suddenly shows signs of nearing its lifespan?  Would you even recognize these?  Would you know how to prepare for it?

From my recent painful experience, I will tell you what happened and hope that you learn from it and be able to rescue your data too :)

Bought a new monitor, the Viewsonic VA2046a-LED!

The last thing that you want to hear about when you've just woken up is someone telling you that the computer is broken.  That brings to mind all sorts of bad things and most of them expensive costs.  So, I immediately went down to assess exactly what "broken" means.

A New Desktop PC

One of the things on my wish list is getting a new pc. Granted our old one wasn't broken yet but it was on its way there. I have to thank my brother Allan for sending our old one but I think PC's only last 5 years until they start to deteriorate especially if you use it a long time. The monitor was the first one to give up, then the CD-drive, then the hard drive.. you get the picture?

Oh and when Den and I decided to clean the 3-in-one Dell printer, guess what? it won't start anymore - the flimsy cables broke sheesh.. we got a clean scanner but a dead all-in-one LOL

So, instead of just buying a printer on its own, we just decided to get a new desktop and maybe get a discount on the printer as well if we include it in the purchase. We scanned and browsed many shops and I even looked at reviews of cheap-priced parts on the net.

We finally went with Dynamic PC in Gilmore and purchased our new desktop from them. I have to give props to Dynamic PC and their crew, especially Gene. He was very helpful and pleasant and attentive and great with multi-tasking! LOL Here are the specs of our new PC: Intel Core 2 Duo, 500 GB Hard Drive, 2GB Ram, a video card (sorry I'm not tehcnical about this hahaha), a 19" Viewsonic Widescreen monitor, an F4280 HP Deskjet (3-in-1), the usual keyboard, speakers and mouse, a Samsung DVDRW drive.. uhmm what else??oh we bought a Hard Drive enclosure for our old drive, from a Dynamic PC store in North Edsa on a different jaunt hahaha
