What is wrong with my Desktop?

What's wrong with my desktop computer?

  • Hi. My computer ran perfectly for about 2 years until this morning when I turned it on. It started up normally to me desktop screen but then my desktop tower started making clicking noises every 3 seconds. Also, I tried double clicking on my internet browser and nothing loads, not even right clicking, I can't even shut down. I'm worried there is something wrong with the motherboard or CPU. What can I do?

  • Answer:

    If its clicking it is 99% chance of hard drive failure. Run scandisk if you can to check for bad clusters. if it fails, then your drive is bad.

From past experience, clicking indicates hard drive failure. Try starting up in safe mode to save your files. Hard drives are relatively inexpensive, you can place the hard drive and do a OEM restore then reinstall your personal data.

Clicking noises often indicate impending hard drive failure. You don't have much time. Find a pro who can confirm the condition of the hard drive before it fails completely, taking your files with it. Repeat: You don't have much time!

Clicking is regularly and indication of a faulting drive or fan. If confident, pleae vacum the fans/exhaust and inside the cabinet to ensure their is nothing like a cable lying on a fan. Do things open then in Safe Mode?
