• Not sure If problem or not. (Clicking sound's from PC)

Okay, not sure if this a problem or just a bogging down computer or what. So heres what I can hear, I hear click click like a loading if your floppy would load stuff. or Per-say your CD/DVD would load stuff, it's complicated to say what exactly. But it happens when you access the whole root of the system like if you open the directory to find where you want to install files at it would click click - then my fan from my cpu would make a odd buzzing sorta sound like it was scratching almost agaisnt something. I cant be 100% sure if the clicking sound came from the HD or SSD. Could anyone give me any insight to help diagnos my system to get to the main root of the problem. I've asked two friends who said it could be the HD/SSD retrying to spin the HD/SSD, An it doesnt click every once and a while it only does that when i access my E:Drive for all my stored information or when I open up the directory when your going to save a file or install a game/program. Ill provide anymore information and that if needed, Just anyone help if you can. Also on the note, when I tried to play music on my VLC player. It took like 5-15 seconds to show the stuff on my screen for the E drive but it didn't do that for my C Drive. Its odd, I wanna get this fixed so as possible so I'm not out a computer. And I don't overclock at all. I run a ASUS Crosshair IV Formula AM3 AMD Motherboard. Western Digital HD 1TB for my Storage and information. OCZ SSD 60GB 8GB of RAM G.SKILL SNIPER SERIES AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GH Is the CPU EVGA GTX 590 Classified - Is the Graphics card.
Your HDD's arm is pretty much the only thing that's capable of "clicking". See if you can run some hard drive tests to see if anything comes up.
Any suggestions for programs that are reliable?

I've had this before, might now be the same since the explination was difficult for my bad english. But what I did was to remove the computer fans, clean it and later on put them back. I also took of the screws off them and put them in correctly. The reason why I did this was because the fan was hanging lose (only a bit and still loud noises). Tis only happened when I installed things from a disc.
