Hard drive question [View All]

[Delphinus]

First, let me say thanks to all in this forum who share their knowledge - it is much appreciated.

My question is this: lately, when I've shut down my computer (Windows XP), my sound system (Logitech speakers with a woofer?) gives me feedback - like it's scratching a record. I usually just switch the speakers off until I turn the machine back on. This is new - perhaps six weeks or so - and I've had the system for at least three years.

Today, when I came home from work, my hard drive was flashing - but my computer was OFF! - and my speakers were making that scratching sound. It was not doing it all day, as I stopped at lunch to get something and I would have heard it. I live alone and my dog isn't capable of using the computer during my absence. :)

Any ideas? Especially in regard to my hard drive flashing when it was off! I flipped the switch on the back of the computer to kill all electricity, which stopped the green light flashing.

It was weird.

Thank you!
