Click and freeze

[beef]

Hey guys, my C:\ drive sometimes makes one 'click' sound like its switching off, then my computer freezes. Its a WD 80gig SE (ide) that I purchased in April.I ran the WD diagnostic tool and it finds no problem. I 'm thinking maybe a power supply issue? I have an Enermax 460 PS, P4B 2.4, ATI 9700pro, 2x WD 80SE, benq DVD burner, lite-on DVD player, SB aud.2zs, 2x512 DDR 333, Gigabyte 8PE 667 ultra2 mobo, 3 case fans and a floppy drive. Basically, everything is 2.6 yrs old, except for the 2 HD's.Power scheme in windows for the HD's is 'always on', turn off HD's is 'never'.

I had a couple WD's awhile back that started off with that sound and eventually died on me. I replaced the PSU, did diskchecks, everything. They just eventually gave out. So I would save that data ASAP on that if you can.

its the sign of the hd dieing

My old comp does that when certain sectors of the drive is filled up(4 year + WD)

You know, if the HD is dying, I am going to be rather angry. The bloody thing is only 4 months old. I guess after the 1st WD went sour after only 2 yrs, I really should have purchased a different brand.
