    HDD spinning down/clicking every 30 seconds


    I have the same problem. Im 100% sure that is a Windows 10 issue becouse it never happens with Windows 7 (just one click at BIOS post)

    THANKS. I FINALLY SOLVE IT WITH CRYSTAL DISKINFO

    Just Disable the APM (Function -> Advanced Features -> AAM/APM Control) then select the problematic drive

    Just click on diasable and close.

    The program must be running on background (set to start with windows). But finally i don't hear that annoying sound of death

    I had a similar issue with dual booting Win7 and win10 without Clicker Heroes. My HDD would make clicking noise in windows 10, but not in windows 7. After a few months I started noticing that each time i boot into windows 7 (after previously booting to windows 10) my hdd's get scanned with check disk, and after a while all kinds of errors started showing up leading to loss of more than 1TB of data on my Seagate ST2000DX00something (hybrid drive). I ended up backing up what was left and then doing hdd regenerator to fix more than 200 bad sectorrs and then low level format using lowvel to enable the usage of previously fixed bad sectors. I still use that hard drive with windows 7. I won't install windows 10 untill i discover what causes the clicking noise and data loss/disk surface corruption under windows 10. I gues that constant head parking can be the cause. will try with crystal diskinfo, but I don't want to risk loosing any more data.
