[QUOTE="Gawain76, post: 976435, member: 139118"] Well I did the extended hardware diagnostic tests from the install disk and it reported no problem. I am hoping that this test is a reliable indicator and that therefore my logic board and memory chips, etc. are genuinely ok. However it still leaves me with the mystery of my clicking, freezing drives. The retailer is being a bit slow with their returns instructions so it looks like I will have to wait a bit before I can install a new replacement HDD and test it. Meanwhile I will keep surfing for people's experiences similar to my own in the hope that my situation is not unique and that a known fix is available. Thanks for all your help so far. [/QUOTE]
