[QUOTE="cheese79, post: 1693596, member: 6640"] depends on if you got a backup disk with your laptop. most dont give you that anymore but they might have. if not go ahead and get windows 7 or go back to xp either one is a night and day difference over vista. and from working in the it world for so long i would bet on it being a hard drive failure. the clicking is what gives it away. if it was a fan you would hear the noise all of the time and if it is over heating i would think you would know it.... it would be damn hot on the bottom and the key board would be hot to the touch. but that is just my free advice...lol i only charge $75 and hour on my off time so if you want to bring it to tulsa... :) [/QUOTE]
