Strange repetitive clicking sound.

It’s from Signs, the movie.

It’s a Geiger counter. It’s telling that you have unusually high amounts of radiation. Coming from where, let the rest of the thread figure that out.

Also, I spelled Geiger wrong, and the spellchecker suggested “Ginger”.

Please, either get rid of that atrocious picture in your signature, either stop posting here.

It must be the gaydar going of.

What a weird looking ginger.

Why do you bully soaringscout? link?

Click his name and see what threads he created. Now realize he’s a ginger.

Leave it to the immaturity of everyone on this forum to screw shit up. Can I just get a possible solution instead of trolls and bitching assholes. Just shut the fuck up and think of something else because ginger was already over used by that shit show, South Park.

If you’d be so kind as to check back to my previous post.
The problem is most certainly either your Hard Drive, or a Fan being hit by a loose wire.

Yeah I read it, but I’m just talking to the people that read my thread just to flame, whine, troll, and be sarcastic on it.

[COLOR=‘Red’]…blah blah blah…stupid comments must stop NOW, otherwise THIS ginger is kicking everyone in the groin.

If you overclocked your video card or whatever it is you overclocked and the ticking started have you gone back to default settings to see if the clicking and hesitations stop? That would have been the first thing to do. If it happens still then I would investigate other options. How old is your hard drive and what’s the brand?

I would suggest you all stop gang beating this guy. You were all 13 once. I’ve read back on the stuff he posted, yeah it’s stupid, but he doesn’t deserve the treatment you’re all giving him.

Also, SoaringScout, just ignore them and focus on the ON TOPIC responses you might get. Responding is like giving a troll a cookie and expecting it to just leave. If they really start getting at you then find a new forum, I am empathetic with what you could be going though and it isn’t fun.

[COLOR=‘Red’]…blah blah blah…

But ya, first find the source of the clicking like what component is it coming from so you won’t explode your computer from ripping out the wrong hardware.

[COLOR=‘Red’]I am tempted to continue deleting the mean posts in here, but I trust you guys are going to shut the hell up and either help the kid or find someone else to bully. ENOUGH.

And I swear the next person I see make fun of a “Ginger” is gonna get a thump from me… CUZ I AM GINGER and I don’t think it is funny anymore.


WELL

I had a similar problem with my old comp, I had a ticking noise for a while. I never found the source of it but I’m pretty sure it was my old CRT monitor. It eventually went away. I’m still running it to date :retard: old monitors FTW

Try unplugging the speakers.
Check wires and see they’re not snagged in anything.
Run a stability test.

Yes that.

Plus I am still thinking he should pop open the case and leave it open while he reboots it so that he can try to get a visual of where exactly it is coming from.

Hiya Scout…

Sounds as if your hard disk, (or one of your hard disks), is on the way out, so back up all the data on it right away… and I mean NOW!!.. before it fails completly and simply stops working.

Just to make sure, open up up your case and check that the source of the clicking really is the hard drive - it’s normally pretty easy to hear exactly where the sound is coming from. If it is the hard drive, back up the data right away and replace the unit.

:slight_smile:

I had a similar noise coming from my old computer once, turned out my hard drive was making the it. It was a PATA Seagate Barracuda 80gb and not long afterwards it stop working. Luckily it wasn’t my primary hard drive! :stuck_out_tongue:

It started after I overclocked so I’m gonna try resetting the settings I changed when I overclocked.

sounds like a good start
