My computer while running is making a clicking sound almost like a relay sound! It is loud and started about the same time as when my fan on my CPU started going bad ...which I have ordered a new fan and heatsink...I don't know if the two are related or not.....Although the fan is getting bad I have had no overheating shutdowns yet! It is a Pentium 4 socket 478 ..win XP and a Elitegroup P4 MB model P4S5A. Also it seems th happen when I click on certain functioms or web pages or email but not all the time. I do believe it does it without mouse clicking but hard to tell!

Make sure the all your card, and memory are fitted tightly. Sometimes these are the ones that makes clicking sounds.

WHILE YOU TRY THE ABOVE SOLUTION LEAVE THE CASE COVER OFF AND SEE IF YOU CAN "FEEL" THE SOUNDS
COMING FROM THE HARD DRIVE AFTER YOU FIRE IT UP.
IF SO IT MIGHT BE GETTING CLOSE TO THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT A NEW HARD DRIVE.
