Clicking sound? Have you determined which part the sound is coming from? If not, put your ear near the open case and try to narrow down the part.
1. If it is a drive, remove it from your computer. It is failing. 2. If it is a fan, leave the computer powered off until you have purchased a new fan. There are not many moving parts in a computer.
