[SOLVED] New HDD clicking

[nikolailicsombor]

So, my 5 years old(My entire PC is around 5 years old, except the GPU) Toshiba 1TB HDD has lately been making clicking and grinding noises, along with the computer freezing a bit at first, and later completely. I realized that the HDD was almost dead as I run various tests and later that day I bought a brand new Toshiba 1TB HDD. Few hours after I installed the HDD, I started hearing the exact same noise as with my old HDD. Complete freezes for a few seconds and 100% Disk Usage were accompanying this sound. I wonder if something else related to the HDD is broken and I have absolutely no idea how to solve this problem. Thanks for help in advance!

nikolailicsombor, looks like you ran into some bad luck. Make sure also that it is not a cable that is hitting a fan.
