Strange ticking noise coming from inside the case

[Zoro007]

Ive been having this problem for a while now and i really cant figure out whats the problem. Every single time i started playing a game i can just hear that "tick" sound coming from the case, now thats not the problem at all if you ask me. The thing is every time that happens my game totally freezes and just kicks me out of a lobby/server/match. I dont that can be a problem with HDD cause i have for like a month now. Also ive been getting a few BSODs with error code MEMORY_MANAGEMENT. Please help..

memtest ram and in the dark see if psu dont have any blue spark coming out from it .

 

[Zoro007]

I've ran memtest twice and it shows no errors

 

[scout_03]

ok now the psu test also check if there is any wire that touch any of the fan blade in system .

 

[Zoro007]

how can a wire freeze my whole computer?? and one more thing how am i supposed to check the psu while im playing?

 

[Zoro007]

Alright so i found out that the sound is coming from the HDD. I can say that the HDD is perfectly fine cause this was happening with my 2 old HDD's so something else has to be "throtling" it.

you need to have another psu for test since you had issue on 2 others hdd with same psu this one could be going out of power on ful load .

Alright thanks for that and one more question, could it be because my psu is not directly connected to the power outlet cause im using an extended cable right now also its 900w

 

[scout_03]

this extender should be a surge power bar for computer and psu is powerfull enough .

This is the sound it produced right before getting an bsod with memory_management error, after that it was the same as before just doing it in games. Could the psu is is not good anymore?

to me that sound like a hard drive dying.

I bought the hdd around a month ago. I dont think thats it. Unless its a manufacturing problem

 

[scout_03]

this is the head of the hdd that is the side of it and this is call click of death save all data and rma it as soon as you could or you will loose everything .

 

[Zoro007]

Actually turns out its the psu cabel

 

[The Paladin]

explain why the PSu cable which is a non moveable part was making "noise"?

 

[scout_03]

what is was doing did he touch a case part or made some ground spark on the case .
