    I have a new T61P with 100GB 7200rpm hdd and it clicks when I play Supreme Commander. Like Tick-Tick-Tick sound. Not a grinding or loud click but still audible tick sound..

    Is this normal? Or should I give Lenovo a call. I hope its not failing. I ran all the HD tests and everything says its fine and no errors. PC Doctor said it was fine as well.

    May I add that is does this only during Supreme Commander and The Witcher.

    Do you have a Seagate HDD?

    The Seagate HDD's are more prone to problems than the Hitachi it seems. You can search these forums for a solution.

    Other than that, I can only recommend that you send it in for a replacement. Make sure to send in only the HDD and not the computer.
