More Computer Troubles

[vovat]

My computer is still having problems. In addition to what I described earlier, the hard drive sometimes freezes up and makes weird noises. I think my brother has said that it might die soon. I've backed up what I thought was important, in case the drive does crash. I probably forgot something, but at least I won't have lost everything if such a thing does occur. I wonder whether it would be worth trying to get a new hard drive installed in the computer, rather than buying a whole new system. I assume simply reformatting the drive wouldn't help, but let me know if I'm wrong, as that would certainly save me some money.
