While using a desktop computer, a user suddenly hears loud grinding or scraping noises coming from inside the system unit. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of this symptom?
A failing mechanical hard drive
A misconfigured network share
A corrupted operating system file
An outdated printer driver
Loud grinding or scraping sounds are usually mechanical and originate from moving parts. The most common component that produces such a noise is a failing mechanical hard drive whose read/write heads or spindle bearings are damaged. Software problems, corrupt files, outdated drivers, or network misconfigurations do not create physical grinding sounds.
