Recently whenever I boot up my HDD makes this clicking sound and then after it boots it goes away and my computer runs fine. I did a memory check and it was fine but I'm scared. :ohdear:

Is it a WD Blue? If so, mine does the same thing, and occasionally it will make a loud click when running windows.

I'm not sure. All I know is its a Hewlett Packard built computer. I don't know if certain brands do it or what.
My hdd for my laptop used to click and clack like a fucking barnyard animal. I'd say it's fairly normal.

I can't seem to find my faith in humanity, could someone lend me theirs?
I would but I lost mine too.
NOES.

Because RAM == hard drive space...? A memory check is used to check for bad sectors in RAM
Hard Drives are durable things. Maybe clicking is just your hard-drive's way of booting up.
If a click scares ya, wait 'till one of your fans start dying >;D

If it's a loud click, and it hasn't made that sound before. then the hdd is dying.
recently the hdd in my laptop started to "click" and lose response for 5 seconds, and i know it's gonna die soon.
Unusual hard drive noise is generally bad, that's how data recovery businesses quickly scan for dead drives.
Go start then click run and type in chkdsk /r /f
