ticking

Thankfully I can replace it. Recovering data from my Macrium image will be another thing unless it is like a typical recovery.
I used Speccy to find out what I need. I will get the 500 GB as I only use 38 GB any way.
I saw one in a local store for $35.

>>Long story short I have a WD $39 1 T installed and have defaulted the BIOS and recovered Macrium. No noise.
I cannot thank you all enough for all your kind advice.

Hello
I waited a week to be sure and since I replaced the new HDD not only is the ticking gone but the flickering also.
Thank you for your help
