MB Click Sound and not start

siper121 · Apr 4, 2018

Hi All, i have a problem with my PC need help solving it
my comp. Specs. as follows
• Graphics Card : NVIDIA GTX 970 OC
• SSD 850 EVO 2.5’’ Sata 3 128GB
• Ram 8GB*2 DDR3
• HDD Western Digital 3TB Black
• MB Gagabyte GA Z97X-Gaming G1 Wifi Bk
• Processor i7-4770K Haswell
• PSU Corsair 750Watt (Don’t remember the model)
• CPU Cooler H80i
• Case CoolerMaster Trooper
• Connected to TV 40’’ Samsung LED with HDMI

Recently i have upgraded from windows 7 to windows 10, i have noticed a lot of random restarts but all was fixed after updates, Now i am facing a problem that the computer doesn't start and instead makes a clicking sound (one click) nearly every 2-3 sec. i tried removing and cleaning the RAM and reinstalling it and it fixed the problem at start, but it keeps happening now too much sometimes all i need to do is force shutdown and open computer again, i am afraid it's a MB or RAM fault.
So kindly advise what to do

Thanks in Advance..

A clicking motherboard? Hrmmm The only things I know that click are failing hard drives.
Are you sure it isn't that?
You can download Hard Disk Sentinel and it will let you know about errors on the hard disk.

i am not sure where the click sound coming from exactly, i tried to lessen closely but could't identify the sound location, i assumed its the motherboard as also the motherboard have a small red screen that counts numbers and reaches a curtain number (32 i think ) and then click and do it again and again and so on and computer doesn't start

The numbers are a Diagnostic system.
If it is erroring on a number you need to look at the error code from your motherboard manufacturer and find the solution.
The numbers are there to help you find problems.

Ok, i have been looking for while trying to get the error code meaning and that's what i have reached (post code 32 "CPU PEI Initialization")
Honestly i don't understand what is the meaning of that, but recently i have noticed that it is related to the RAM somehow, as when i remove the RAM and re-install it again the computer sometimes start, i tried other methods like removing all USBs connected disconnecting the SSD and HDD but non of them worked.

Download a RAM testing program and give that a whirl, if its possible to do so.

Sorry for the delay, But i had was trying to search deeply in to the problem on the internet and i have contacted GigaByte trying to solve it, GB replied that i should update my Bios to F8 ( I haven't done it yet)

Today i reached something, when i was upgrading from Windows 7 to windows 10 it said that i have to change to UEFI and couldn't install windows, so i googled how to do that and changed it and installed windows, Now i read about UEFI and from what i understand that it likes replaces the BIOS, This problem appeared after lots of updates in windows, i don't know if what i am saying is related to my problem but i thought i should say it may be it will help solving it.

Please i really appreciate all the help i can get to solve this problem, As i cant use my computer for more than 3 weeks now.
