PC

The causes and solutions are when the PC makes a clicking sound

clicking, solutions, sound


Graphics card followers

Personally (on RTGA 2080 from EVGA), sometimes that sound click is done by graphics card fans when hybrid operation. They make this noise when they start and stop doing it once it works, but sometimes the GPU temperature is at that interval it should be turned on and off, and the fans never stop turning on and off.

In that case no problem, it's standard behavior and we can also change the fan curve by using software such as EVGA Precission X.

The hard drive starts to fail

This is a bad sign. When a hard drive machines are on the verge of failureSometimes the arm & # 39; s can be inserted & # 39; trying to get the head to where it should go, but without finding it. At that time, we hear the constant clicking noise with enthusiasm, indicating that the device is having problems and that we should act immediately. backup copy so as not to throw away the information it contains.

The click sound can be made by a CD / DVD reader

In practice, the drive machines that we can put on PC work similarly to the hard drives described above (the difference is that you can install and delete a CD / DVD). Inside the unit, the disc explodes and a head with a head moves around its face to read the information. The sound of cracking, really high, often means that unit fails and that the time has come to take it away.

Installed by a friend

This clicking sound can come with a blocked fan, even if it has one lots of mess and it can't turn (when we'll just clean it), because engine stopped (in this case we have to bring it back to you), or because one of the dots comes from something. In any case, we have to take a close look at all the fans of the machines to make sure they all rotate correctly without hitting anything. This is also extended to heatsink card followers and graphics.

An electrical problem

Another cause of the noise is that there is an electrical problem, frequency related to the power supply or VRM of the motherboard. In both cases, it is common as soon as you open it, make a sound for a few seconds, then turn off automatically Otherwise we can do nothing. Ideally, that clicking sound will be heard shortly before all internal hardware hardware is turned off at the same time, due to power failure.

If that's the case with us, the first thing we must do is look at that All source cables are well connected and tightly connected (Better, actually, unplug them all and reconnect them to be sure).

If this is proven the machines still have the same problem, it is likely that the power supply or motherboard is damaged (or both) and needs to be replaced. However, one possibility is that there is some sort Short electrical circuit between PC case and motherboard, so as a final step it is advisable to completely separate the equipment and place it in the "air" (out of the box) to make sure.
