Except for the sound, of course.
I've had a few harddrives quit on me and they give a pitched tapping sound when trying to read faulty sectors on the drive's discs. They do it repeatedly as they try to re-read the area.
I'm sorry for my rambling above, you can just read the line about the ram.
On the other hand, SP2 do have created issues for some - perhaps win update have something for you. (though that doesn't explain the problems at BIOS level)
