i hear strange writing noises coming probably from the hard drive. it is about every 5 seconds and mostly when pc is not being used. the blue led that is blinking when the hard drive is operating, is blinking then. when i use the pc, usually the scanning of the hard drive stops.
Sounds like SWAP (Virtual memory) on your HDD. It occurs when your OS needs more memory, it uses some unused space as RAM.
