Hi Everyone,

I've had a daily issue for some time now where a small green light on my IBM PC tower situated just below the power button seems to constantly keep flashing/or fully lit up and making a cackling noise as if its updating or downloading something. I don't think this has anything to do with any window updates (although these updates also produce this noise and light) as these are programmed to happen only once a week. When its not making this noise and light the PC runs just fine, I'm just at a loss as to what the PC is doing and why its doing it so frequently. I have tried cleaning up my files by deleting a lot of things as I thought it may be a space issue, but this hasn't seemed to help

Appreciate any feedback

Not knowing the actual model of the PC I could only guess and the guess would be a HD activity light meaning you are either reading or writing to or from the HD?

Thanks for your feedback cmeeks

This IBM PC model is ThinkCentre A52 (8343-CTO) if that's any help, but this particular model does not have writing capability, just reading. If this is indeed the case.. what is it writing and why is it doing this numerous times a day. It doesn't really make any sense
