Clicking Sounds In my CPU

 

Hi, If you hear clicking sounds coming from your CPU, you should open your CPU, ensure that its no wires are  hitting against the fans, if this is not the problem then you should, identify exactly where the click is coming from, it may mean that your hard drive is going bad, please try hard as much to get all your important files and documents  off the hard drive, because if you constantly use the machine like this it may result to your hard drive crashing permanently. Hope this helps

Clicking Sounds In my CPU

If there is a clicking noise I would seriously recommend having the hard drive looked at, that is usually the result of a hard drive on its way out. If you want to keep the data on the hard drive, you should look into a new drive now before the drive fails.
Noise can also produced because if any dirt is there in the fan, and if the machine is not getting adequate cooling. First of all you open the cabinet clean away the dust.  in bios you can have some features like cool and quite technology. so in bios you can turn on Q-fan control that will reduce the sound of the fan to a great detail, otherwise check how many fans you have in the cabinet and you can have a ventilated cabinet
