my 5th gen 80 gb ipod has recently been making clicking noises, what im assuming is the result of a bad driver. when the clicking noise happens, it skips to the next song, makes a clicking noise again, and repeats the process until the screen freezes. it occasionally works, but only for about 30 minutes. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

edit: and recently i have noticed that it has been slow to load if i do too much (such as spinning the wheel, picking a song, backing out and looking for a new song), but that could be because i have 25gb used up? or is that a sign of a driver going bad.
