1134702 2010-09-04 20:31:00 Ticking? The only thing that is likely to be is imminent hard drive failure. pctek (84)

or the PC is over heating and the ticking is the PC speaker sending a warning, although with mine it was more like a beep than a tick.

time to worry!
Seriously though, see if you can identify/isolate the source (internal/external speaker/s, inside case (hard drives/optical drive/fans/power supply unit/motherboard etc)). I would suspect hard drive personally.

The BIOS beeps from a overheating CPU is a siren noise, not ticking. Tick tick, like a wind up clock, is a hard drive.

1134709 2010-09-05 06:36:00 As PCTek mentioned, its either a hard Drive OR one other thing it may be is if something has moved and maybe a wire / crap or something is touching a fan, but it would be a really fast "tick".

Take the side off the case, start the PC, listen, then locate the Tick -- it will soon be very evident where its coming from. IF it is a HDD, replace it NOW and clone it, as later when it fails it may very well be to late to save any data.

Not going to argue with that but I don't take anything for granted when people say it is doing something
