I tried the bios 1.2  on it and it still makes the noise on a usb live boot.
Please be reminded I am a monk living in a monastery on a mountain.  They
turn on  a diesel generator  at night which has been repaired only a few
days ago.
For some reason electricity matters with bios update.   It worked
thankfully!

Do I need to install the other bios ones listed?
Still Clicking.

I am loving lubuntu.  I just installed 4.4.4 stable.
Works.
