Most likely this is a sign of an overtaxed or dying FAN. Your fan may have come loose or may have become clogged with dirt and dust, decreasing its effectiveness and requiring it to work harder than it should have to. Thus, it is vital to clean out any dirt and debris that may obstruct the computer\u2019s ventilation. A non-functional fan can potentially cause <b>OVERHEATING <\/b>as well. All components of a computer demand appropriate and sufficient ventilation and cooling, as they generate heat during operation. When you are dealing with any kind of odd computer noise it is of utmost importance to perform a backup of all valuable, irreplaceable files saved on the system\u2019s hard drive. Although clicking sounds are the predominant, ominous indicators of a <b>HARD DRIVE CRASH<\/b>, failing to acknowledge other strange noises as a sign of a potentially serious issue could result in catastrophic data loss. There are many possible causes for hard drive failure, including overheating, faulty air filter, power surges, violent vibration, static electricity, mechanical failure and virus infection.<\/p>\n<p>Your PC\u2019s longevity is top priority!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; In the last 2 blog posts we have addressed common and dangerous computer security threats and have discussed the # 1 computer problem \u2013 slow computer performance.
