Hi, for a while now my comp has made a kind of loud click/pop noise. It's infrequent as it may happen once or twice in a day and also may not happen at all for a couple of days. It doesn't happen while doing anything specific as it's even done it while in hibernation mode.
Given the infrequency of the noise and it not happening during anything specific I can't tell if it's a dodgy component or if it is simply the case itself from changes in temperature.

The only clicking I have heard from a computer is either:

Fan Bearing (Bad)
Hard Drive (Head Actuator I think it's called) (Bad) Edit: Also some hard drives do something called Head Parking with makes clicks.... but not sure if it would do this in hibernation
Some sound cards naturally click on startup/changes like Asus Essence.
