I know this is not a windows xp Help problem, but you guys are so great and seem to know everything, and I can't find an Intel forum. I have been having problems and after sending the error report to Microsoft, they tell me it was likely caused by Intel StorageDriver(IdeChrDr.sys. I have an Intel 845E chipset and the Ultra ATA storage Driver. In checking the Intel site, it says this driver is no longer supported and I should download the Intel Application Accelerator. But, then I discovered that it, too, is no longer supported after 12/31/2005. And I don't see any suggestion for replacement, nor can I ask them, since they don't support it (tried - email rejected) Meanwhile, here is the problem I am having. I hear a "click, click, click, <slight pause> click from my tower. After a few moments this repeats. And again, etc. Up until yesterday it stopped making the noise within 3 - 4 minutes and everything was A-OK. Now, however, after going through the clicking for a few minutes, it reboots. (While it is clicking, the machine is frozen, can't use mouse, keyboard, etc.) I then get the Blue Screen with the message: "DRIVE IRQL NOT LESS Or EQUAL and it suggests the problem might be with newly installed hardware or software, but I have not installed anything new recently. Although it doesn't usually record an error in the Event Log, when it does it is a System Error Category 102, Event Id 1003. Error Code 1000000d1 parameter1 00000034, parameter2 00000002, parameter3 00000000, parameter4 f868b8f0. This information is usually on the blue screen. It then reboots and everything is OK for from 5 to 20 minutes when it repeats. |

i think that the clicking sounds are being created by either your hard drive or cd drive. sometimes the cd drive simply goes bad and begins to click intermittently. sometimes the hard drive goes bad too but lets hope its the cd rom because these are relatively cheap and easy to replace. the easy way to do a quick fix is to access your bios setup when the pc powers on. there you may be able to disengage the cd device. then save and reboot. the clicking may still be present but it is likely that windows will not see the device and crash. the second step would be to open up your tower and unplug the cd drive. be sure to follow all the safety rules, like unplugging all the equipment from the electricity, including printers, speakers, etc.. and be sure to be static free. then$ unplug all the cables plugged into the back of the cd drive. plug the electricity back in, restart and the clicking cd will stay quiet....
