My PC is fairly new, just over a month old and everything works perfectly.
The situation is that my HDD (WD Caviar Blue 1TB) is mounted to the bottom of my case and is touching the metal from three sides so some low pitched whirring is normal, so I've been told.
To get to the point my HDD would sometimes, once every couple of days or so start spinning faster for a few seconds before going back to normal.
When that happens, Task Manager shows around 50% Disk usage despite my PC being idle or in use.
I ran sfc /scannow and made a SMART scan resulting in both showing no issues. I may be paranoid because this is the first HDD I had mounted directly at the bottom of the case but it's better to be safe than sorry.
To elaborate, when I open a folder with 50+ images it makes the same noise. I'm asking because this is happening when nothing is going on.
