I have yet another problem with my computer.
My computer keeps shutting down so i checked to see if it was overheating and i found out my hardrive is getting hot, Its to hot to touch and i didnt even think it was supposed to get very hot, is that my problem.

Download speedfan or something and see what the actual temperature is. Sometimes they feel really hot when you touch it but it's actually running normal. 40-50 degrees Celsius is pretty hot for humans.

Depends on your configuration. Sometimes they specify the hard drives.
