While playing Medal of Honor I heard loud click from hard drive and computer froze completely. I had to reboot it manually. Everything worked normally after reboot and I decided to play again. After some time I have heard that loud click again and I had to reboot. This time Windows won’t start. Is this a definite hard drive failure?

Hello. Loud clicks from hard drive and computer restarts after that are sure sign of definite hard drive failure. You will have to buy new hard drive. You might try to rescue data from old hard drive. If you are planning to do this then install faulty hard drive as slave in some other computer and see if you can recover any data. If you are lucky you will get all data back.
