Hello! I have just recently noticed a clicking sound in my new computer (built in late February - early March) and I have no idea if it is normal, or if I should be worried about it. My computer will be exhibited at a school event on Wednesday and if this is a sign of hard drive failure, its the worst possible time for it. Any idea on what it might be or how to fix it or if I should even be concerned about it?
