Gateway FX542XT Hard Drive
Hard drives are made in varying storage capacities and brands. Due to the fact that hard drives are delicate pieces of hardware, they will stop working whenever they want for a wide variety of reasons. Your Gateway FX542XT has a hdd, or hard disk drive, which stores all of the data that the computer needs. Putting in a new hard drive is quite a simple task if you know what you are doing, obviously. The type of hard drive that you would need to purchase all depends on your desktop. The actual storage size of the hdd is simply a personal choice as almost all computers can accept any sized drive.
Some warnings the primary hard drive will need to be replaced
- The Gateway desktop shuts down at seemingly random times throughout the day
- The desktop shuts down when accessing a particular program
- Your system freezes or is slow to respond at random times
- On some old hard drives you may occasionally hear a ticking sound coming from within the computer
- The operating system may get stuck trying to begin loading and may never boot all the way
