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. Bhikkhu Subhuti I am loving lubuntu. I just installed 4.4.4 stable.
