Anybody else have this happen? It did it on my old pc too. The old pc was XP, this one is Vista both are Hp's. Both Navidia graphics Or is this normal?

Same with mine, and it's a desktop.  My little HDD LED is lit up constant when it does it. I tried playing with settings on DW and whatnot to no avail.  As long as I'm not the only one hearing things
