i recently got this pc and its always had this weird LOUD click every so often. (Only 1 click every so often) It really sounds like the harddrive. But im asking because none of the harddrive checker have seen any problems and for me the harddrive performs like it suppose to (i think). It doesnt lock up when it clicks or anything just gets annoying to hear. Any suggestion?

If you hear clicks, your hard drive might be dying soon. I would advise to back up any data you have just to be safe.
