Recently I've noticed a clicking noise when starting up my computer. It sounds exactly like something has gotten stuck in a fan, but I haven't managed to see anything stuck in any of them. Also, this sound goes away completely once startup is finished. The sound doesn't stay exactly the same for each start-up. Sometimes it's barely audible, while sometimes it's a little more obvious. On occasion it can't be heard at all. It's also important to note that other than this clicking noise, everything runs completely fine. I downloaded CrystalDiskInfo to make sure it wasn't my HDD, and it said both my SSD and HDD were of good health status. Any advice is welcome, and thanks.
