[QUOTE="TulsaGeoff, post: 1693529, member: 24530"] The clicking noise is either your harddrive dying or a fan that is failing or hitting a wire. My guess would be your harddrive is going down and that is why you are crashing. Try downloading Seagate tools and post the results. [url]http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/gr/seagateseatools.htm[/url] Overheating could be an issue too. Download Speedfan and see if any component is exceeding 80 degree C. If it is, your laptop may be hitting its thermal safety threshold and shutting down. [/QUOTE]
