Boom HDD keeps runnin,and running, and running....

Ok. ONce in a while I'll do the regular stuff on my pc; surfing, playing music, movies, etc. and the hard drive goes crazy, the led doesn't stop for like 5-10 mins, sometimes I even have to reboot. What can be causing this problem???

Do an anti-virus scan, as well as ad-aware and spybot scans. It's possible there is some type of malware lurking on your hdd.
