Then after another 2weeks later, i started hearing a squeaking noise coming from inside my pc. i opened the PC up and the noise was coming from my Hard Drive. i told the company(where i buyed the hard drive from) what was happening and asked for a new hard drive. they gave me a new hard drive. but PC kept on slowing down. Now i can't even run Need For speed MOST wanted OR carbon without the the pc taking forever to load the games and the sceren frezzing up after every 2hour or so even if i am just watching a movie on the internet. I am running windows XP sp2 32bit. i don't if that's the reason the sceren frezzing up. PLEASE IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME.
