********HELP HELP!!!***My Computer does some weird clicking sounds and then sudd

It started a really long time ago. I havent bought a new computer or anything... Just regular old one, its pretty good though and then one day my computer does some weird clicking sounds EVERYTIME I try to install something (example: Games, unraring/unpacking files etc) And when it does those sounds, it first freezes for like 2-3 seconds and then it restarts. Every comment is avaible.


Thanks

Your hard drive is failing.

You will need to back up what you can and get a new one.

Hard drive is probably on the way out; very soon, you will have catestrophic HD failure. Back up anything important NOW.

I dunno, I'd rather replace a PSU over all of my data exploding any day of the year

But yeah, it could be a fan clicking, but in that case it should get louder during load, not during disk access. While caps will also click when they fail, things tend to not work after that lol.

agree. HDD failing. As everyone else has said, Back up all your files before it's to late!

yea hard drive cuz it is the only MOVING part in your computer that can do that

Nope. Fans are ok. The hard drive was going to hell as other people said. I removed the old one and put in a new and it doesnt doit anymore =)

I dont know. Its already in the trashcan and it was really old so I havent even doubt about that it could work properly anymore
