Help. my PC starts clicking after a while...

[lunarplague]

i just hear a clicking noise sometimes when i boot up and after a long period of time it starts up. could it be a fan dying or the HD?

HD, what type and how old? :|

 

[lunarplague]

i dunno what type, how can i check? i just got it last summer...

There is usualy a manufacturing date on the hdd.

PS, remove your sig image.

I have come to a conclusion it is my fans messing up. I need a can of air or something because there is wayy too much dust in my tower.

Unscrew the fans and use a vacuum to clean them up, preferably with a small brush attachment. Works fine for me.
