I did try it on the other computer. Tried different cables. I disconnected the power...twice the first time it had been off for about 3 or 4 hours. Just down the 15 minutes again. It's getting ppower because it has the green light on but it's still just making a noise...kinda humming noise. When it first made a noise last night it kinda sounded like a disc driving opening and closing....don't know how to describe the stupid sound...haha

Thanks
