Sometimes when I use my comp it makes a single ticking noise somewhere inside the tower. It sometimes happens a few times again, with a delay between the ticks. The delay can be 15 secs or 2 mins but either way the comp starts to freeze and has to be restarted if it doesnt already restart itself! Then when I the computer boots up it cant load windows from the harddrive and needs restarted again until it works.
What could it be? I was thinkng maybe the harddrive is corrupted or maybe something wrong with the power supply? not sure. I've had the problem on and off for the last two years. It wasnt happening for months but I istalled Vista a month ago and now it's happeining again. I dont think it's Vista related though because it happened when I was running XP Pro too.
Any help appreciated
