    What exactly is that "something"? My crystal ball is out for repairs.

    Check your hardisk using the manufacturer provided check program, usually
    in the form of a self booting floppy you can download.

    Supposing your HD and bios support "smart" (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and
    Reporting Technology) use "smartctl /dev/hda --all" and you will see the
    log of the hda hardrive errors, attributes, etc.

    That program can also test your hard drive, even with the system in use.

    Info: man smartctl
