clicking

Hello everyone, I just came back from vacation for a week and my computer just wont start anymore and the PSU makes this weird clicking noise. I've been hearing it for a month now but then my computer started without any issue. Is there any way to fix this or am I bound to buying another PSU ?

Earlier today my HDD started clicking at the moment its only when I play games but I heard it will progressively get worse and die. I plan to buy a new one tomorrow (cant afford it until then) and it will take a few days to get here. My question is how long does a clicking hdd usually last? or I...

I very often have to click on things multiple times for Windows to respond, and it's been annoying me for years. Here are several occasions where this usually happens: When I open Start and click on the power button to bring up the shutdown options but the first click doesn't work so I always...

Hi, Couple of weeks ago I bought a prebuild (specs below) from a SI. The computer makes this weird clicking noise every 30-45 seconds (recorded from top of the case). I don't even know how to describe it properly. It is not caused by a hdd (disconnected it), and there is no CD-ROM. It also...

I've had this cooler for at least a year, and have not noticed this beforehand until now. I realized whenever I turn my computer on or have it on idle, there is this very audible "slapping" sort of sound happening in my radiator, it's becoming both irritating and concerning for me because I...

I’ve had this custom built computer for the last maybe year or 2, yesterday I noticed this clicking noise and soon after the computer completely shut down, at the time I wasn’t using the computer, it was just on. I hadn’t opened it or moved any parts or anything recently. Considering it was...

Hi all, So I have this issue with my PC where I'm not sure if I should be concerned. It used to be that sometimes my PC would make this rapid clicking/crackling noise every once in a while for a few minutes, and I had always just assumed it was my 9 year old WD 1TB hard drive. Lately though...

At random moments, with my keyboard, when I type a letter that is supposed to be lowercase it outputs as being capital. And vice versa. When this happens, most of the time the number keys will only output the symbol the key is for. What also happens most of the time is whenever I click a link on...

When I press the power button, or anything, nothing happens at all. Just a clicking noise whenever it is plugged in. No fans, LEDs, or beeps. Even with everything except for the 24 pin connected it still gives this clicking noise. I have tried a variety of components to use with it and none seem...

I have a backup external USB hard drive that suddenly lost it while I was backing up a large (4GB) file...progress on the file transfer seemed to stop and a new clicking sound began (a click every 2 seconds or so). Tried power off the drive and then powering back on, tried plugging it into...

I've been having this issue for a while now but have chosen to ignore it due to the noise not being too disruptive; however its come to my attention now that whenever i start up my PC sometimes the clicking noise doesn't happen but it causes my CPU temps to go over 90+ sometimes reaching over...

I haven't seen anyone with a similar issue so i'm going to make a post myself. I have an evga 600w white power supply and it seems like this particular power supply tends to make a weird "cracking noise" from time to time (here's what it sounds like View...

Lately, I've been experiencing a clicking sound coming out of my water cooler Corsair H100. Sometimes it's more and sometimes less. When I'm pushing the fans there is, of course, more clicking. Does someone know why this is happening and if there is an easy fix for that? Could some of the fans...

Hello, I Recently aquired a hp 15-p199na from a freind with a few issues, keyboard sunk in one place, slow HDD & the laptop saying the fan was broken, however on that last point i can't tell if this is a dying fan or a fan getting caught on the sunken keyboard. Video Link ...

Hi there, I am in need of some help and I just can't figure this one out. For several years now I have been dealing with mouse problems. Double clicking and even clicks that don't register. My husband's and I's computer are on the same outlet for our computers. We both also use surge protectors...

There will be a link to a video of the noise the hard drive makes but here is the story first. My brother upgraded his PC about a year ago before starting college. He was having some issues with the school wifi or something and gave it to IT to see what the issue was. When he got it back his...

Good part of day you're in the middle of dear Tom's Hardware forum member or a reader passing by :p, I've just run into a weird situation... not sure if I should call it an "issue", still. I hooked up my daily driver external HDD which hasn't given me trouble since Feb 2014 (knock on wood) to a...

After playing with some of the wire, and moving stuff around I am getting this continuous ticking sound. I removed every part of my pc besides the cpu, and the motherboard. I took out psu to listen but no sound. The only thing I can think of is it’s my motherboard, but I’m not 100% sure.(I...

Hello, I just recently bought a used 1080 ti mini for a good price. Now after using the card for a couple of days, it's come to my attention that the card emmits a clicking sound when it is either heating up (Benchmark start) or cooling down (not sure). The Zotac 1080 ti mini has a hard-locked...

I'm just looking for micro atx cases that will support bulky coolers such as the dark rock pro 4 or the noctua nh-15, multiple reccomendations would be nice as I like variety. I really need a case that has excellent airflow, i dont need a case for RGB or tempered glass.

I just installed my new video card (radeon rx 580) like the instructions said but i dont have any image on my screen. I checked on forums and uninstalled the drivers from my previous graphic card and updated my bios but still no image. My previous video card works perfectly well as well as my...

Edit: I think the VPN (ExpressVPN 6.7.2.5163) is the culprit, by disabling it from auto-start, system goes smoothly for several days now. Following is the original post. ===================OP==================== Hello, I just built a new PC for my son to play Minecraft. The first week had no...

Can I plug one of my monitor into Dvi and the other monitor into the hdmi port?

Would disabling my inegrated gpu of my amd a6 7400k will give me better performance with my gt 1030? I only play league of legends

My PC has been randomly freezing and I cannot move mouse, audio stops, and caps lock is unresponsive. This has been happening for awhile now and I originally thought it was possibly due to high usage with multiple programs open but just now it happened when I only had ONE Chrome tab open. I have...

So, I want to setup dual monitors but wanted to use a lesser x1 gpu for multitasking so my main gpu won't have to split its power. Do you know if this is possible in a lga 1151 mobo or if I need any extra hardware?

I've had countless BSODs over the past month, with 90% of them being memory_management stopcodes. I defragged my hdd, reinstalled all drivers (completely), ran win diagnostic on my memory, updated bios, updated chipset, clean boot, done sfc/scannow mulitple times and loads more. Nothing fixed...

I was planning to buy a gaming laptop, but then my friend told me to buy a gaming desktop instead, because, according to him, components inside the laptop, save for the RAM, cannot be replaced. And then something crossed my mind. If you can upgrade/replace the components of a desktop computer...

I have collected a list of parts that I would like to buy, and have done a fair bit of research regarding the compatibility and performance of the parts. However, I am still very new to PC hardware, having only ever installed new RAM and a GPU in my current PC. Please note that I already own...

So I've ordered 2 (returned and replaced) pairs of soundmagic e50s and both have had the same problem. When I turn the cable while listeneing to music there is static and the phone will unplug them (pause music etc). It seem the Jack can move a tiny bit out with my phone, but not with my friends...

I have 5 fans I want to mount but only 2 fan connections (not including cpu) on my motherboard, would I be able to use two fan splitters on one connection by plugging a splitter into a splitter, or would this not work and should I just stick to the 4 fans?

About 2 years ago I bought an MSI gaming 270X 2G and a 500 watt PSU (cheap) The card never worked right out of the box. kept crashing and so on. It was my first serious card so I fought with drivers for about 3 weeks before I decided to RMA it to rule out user error. The new card worked...

My screen goes grey after start up. I can see my cursor and can move it. But can't see anything else.

Something is wrong with my PC. The CPU is not getting enough voltage when it requires it. Idle core voltage is 0.920V. Idle cpu usage is 2%. Idle cpu clock speed is 1.32ghz. When running Prime95, core voltage stays at 0.920V, cpu usage rises to 32%(meant to be 100% right?) and cpu clock speed...

I been looking for some DDR2 ram for an upgrade. I only have 2 GB of ram and to me that is not enough for gaming for me. I have a ASUS m3n78 Motherboard which only supports DDR2 which is disappointing because most places only make DDR3 Ram now unless there is an adapter so that you can use DDR3...
