One of your ventilators is likely clogged. Download a tool to monitor the CPU and computer case temperature, like this [http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/page/download_overclock] or this [http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php one]. The case temperature (the lower of the two measured temperatures) shouldn't be above 40 C, the max CPU temperature for your CPU, you can find on the following page:

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/143/5 (click "Next" until you find your CPU type). What kind of CPU is in your computer, you can find out by opening the "Control Panel" -> "System" -> Tab "General" -> Subsection "Computer:" in Windows XP.

If the ticking/grinding noise is coming fron the front of the car, it is probably a CV joint going bad. Outer CV joints will click as they wear out, and if that goes on long enough they will start grinding as the joint basically chews itself up.

Why my computer is making odd noises?

It would be one of the few moving parts in the machine, it is either a CD drive (unless there is no disc in), a hard drive (back up your data), or a fan off its axis (which is not too bad, just loud and not moving air as well).


What do you do if CPU makes noises?

If a CPU makes unusual sounds, it is best to close all programs and shut off the computer. If it is a fan problem, cleaning it with canned air may dislodge the problem. HOWEVER, a hard drive that is going bad can also cause a bad grinding noise. The harddrive could fail. So, back up your files, but only turn on the PC until the sound begins and then quickly turn it back off, let it cool for 10-30 minutes and retry.
