[QUOTE="Ekim, post: 995556, member: 122956"] Generally a clicking sound coming from your hard drive is a bad omen. It could be a small hiccup in read/write or it could be a horrific hardware happening. So my advice would be to backup and files you have on the hard drive, because hard drives are not supposed to click! However, some hard drives are particularly fussy when it comes to being on a level playing field. In that they are very sensitive to non-level surfaces, so my advice (if you aren't already) would be to shut down your computer, and boot it on a desk or other hard surface rather than a lap or bed. Good luck! Ekim [/QUOTE]
