[QUOTE="Brunhild, post: 1240811, member: 70080"] I think Im gonna agree with Brian, I would just take it to an apple store. The clicking could most definitely be the hard drive. Thats pretty much the only part in your machine that would click. If the machine is doing random pin wheels that could be because its trying to access something on the hard drive and it is taking longer then usual, so pinwheel. Those two issues right there make me think hard drive for sure. I would just bring the machine back and say you hear clicking and the machine hangs occasionally. Im not sure how thorough the Apple Disk utility hard drive check is, but I have a lot of experience of a full test running on a hard drive and sometimes they pass even though they are going out soon... Then after a few weeks or so of use they just fail.. [/QUOTE]
