Hello, 10.48 and 10.49 (not 10.4.6) both after sleeping...when they wake up i have a black screen and the harddrive make this continuously clicking noise. Like the heads are jumping around real fast. Anyone ever see this?

 

I was hoping the new kernal included in 10.49 8.91 would fix this but it didnt. any ideas what would cause this?

I also hear the clicking noise periodically after I try a wakeup - scares the hell out of me.

yeah it sounds like im destroying the drive very scary

 

Its a HP DC7100 with a Sata seagate

p4 3.2 ghz with HPET SSE3 all that jazz Prescott Socket 775LGA

MB= Intel i915p/i915G

SouthBridge ICH6

900GMA Qrts and CL supported

 

I could be wrong but I have a IDE hd drive in there also and it only does it on the Sata Drive. Ill double check and edit the post in a hour.

Hi,

 

I have the same annoying "clicking" problem. Clue should be in power management or intel ata driver (as i see everyone here has a intel mobo). In my case i think its related with power management or again with intel ata driver (hdd goes nuts and parks and unparks heads).

 

Mobo: intel 945GM (ICH-7)

HDD: sata Western Digital Scorpio

I had the clicking noise in 10.4.6.

When I was under Windows and didn't unplug the 10.4.6 HDD before, I had periodically 2sec. of fast clicking noize. I think it took a month or two until the 10.4.6 HDD was broken. I was neither able to format the HDD nor to zero it. Until the HDD wasn't even recognized by the System anymore. (I couldn't test Low-Level-Formatting)

 

In my opinion the sound comes from the head hitting the disk(s) due to sudden power loss.

 

Backup your data unless its to late.
