i'll ask him to check his temp,dont know how to best describe the sound, more of like a small wheel that needs an oil sound,,thanksgo into the bios and post the temperatures and voltages.
Also is the sound like scratching or clicking sound? if so that would indicate that the platters/ read write heads on the hdd are failing.
PSU brand is Magic, i'll try if can ask him to take pictures and i'll post it here thanksIt's possible two Hd's would have the same symptoms but not probable.
Brand of the 400W PSU?
i see, i'll ask him to put one thanksyour hdd is gonna get damagd if you dont get some cooling on it. the head is probably expanding from that heat. if it expands too much it will start to hit against the platter damaging it. back up you files before its too late

yes, rar file is working, i tried in on my brother's pc and works fine, no squeaky sound it unrar smoothly, tried it on my fathers pc too, tho a little slow coz his pc is pentium 3 and low ram but works fine tooIs the rar file good, sometimes a corrupt file will make the drive thrash trying to read it.
ok, he got only one stick, by testing one at a time you mean try testing it in four different slot one at a time?Voltages and temps look akayish apart from the dram voltage. It should be set to 1.8 why is it at 1.9?
test the ram with memtest86 with one stick installed at a time for several passes.
no error found on memtest86Just test the one stick in one slot for several passes on the program
If you have 2 sticks swap them out on test the second one the same as the first
no error found on memtest86If there is only one tsick test it in all the slots for several passes. Memtest can take an hour for one full test so it could take a while.
that's what im thinking the first time i check his pc, maybe his mobo is not that good, when i try to listen to the sound i'm certain it's coming from the hdd, and i dont know why his ram is set to 1.9vI'd be looking to see what the temperature of the hard drive is really running at before assuming it's too hot. Some hard drives get quite hot to touch while operating at normal temperatures, especially on a warm day and if inside a case without good airflow. It's not necessarily anything to worry about.
The sound you're hearing may be due to hard drive activity but it mightn't be the hard drive causing it. It could be coming from a motherboard component while the hard drive is active. Is it a high pitched "electronic" type sound rather than a mechanical sound? Are you 100% sure it's coming from the hard drive?
Do a Google for HWMonitor and install it to see what temperature the hard drive is running at.
There's plenty of RAM which runs at a voltage higher than 1.8v so there's nothing to suggest your MB is getting it wrong or it "should" be set to 1.8v.
I doubt you'll find anything wrong with the RAM. I suspect a component on the MB is failing.

I am using windows xp in my desk top pc. in this pc unnecerly creating files automatically in this given path:-"C:\DOCUME~1\NARESH"
If we delete the all files with in seconds it is again creating same files nealy 19-25 thousnds of files are creating. what is the problm.
nothing says on the ram stickerhave a look at the sticker on the ram and see what it says for the voltage
