Clicking noise

[Micky T]

My computer has started making loud clicking noises

It only seems to do it when it is first switched on for maybe 1/2 hr

But it does not do it all the time

any thing to worry about.

Have You Seen Any Suspicious Characters
By Your Pc Recently???????

Be particularly worried if they look like this.... :yikes:

Clean your fans......or see an arthritis specialist! :doh

Is it a ticking or a clicking?

[Win2Win]

Or if it's clucking it could be one of these

More like a clicking

[Micky T]

sounds like a switch going and it often does it twice as if it turns off then back on straight away, but it does not effect the computer operation

They say that when you hear a ticking noise from your computer it can mean that it's dying. Hopefully that's not the case Micky. TOW or Glos should be along to give ya some more detailed advice soon.

If you read the PC advice section, you will know not to listen to me, so this may be a rather silly suggestion:

Is it coming from your speakers? The betfair screen will make the click noise when refreshing (the same noise as when you click to open something)

Or it could just be that you're getting electric shocks off the keyboard. :D

Did you resolve that by the way?

He had Monica short circuit him ....slurp.....:D

[Micky T]

Still do not know what is causing it :helper :helper

Tonight started up the computer and it would not load, stopped and was trying to boot from the A drive and the clicking noise was every 1 to 2 seconds did a hard shutdown and restarted and it loaded ok.

clicking at the moment still, is it going to die :yikes: :yikes: :ermmm :ermmm

Probably.....take the side panel off....and discover where it is coming from before it fails. If it's a fan....you'd better keep a bucket of sand handy!!
