For some reason my hard drive keeps well what I can work out restarting, I keep hearing a clicking noise as it it's just stoped then started spinning again.
It used to happen about once a day but i'm hearing it as much as once an hour now.
Does anyone know why this could be?

The computer stays on fine maybe a couple of seconds crash if im in the middle of loading something that's from my E: drive.
Chkdsk has been done already.

The hard drive is on it's way out. Back up everything important you have on it and get another.
