I'm quite worried that my laptop has been starting to start up a strange tick-tick-tick. What's this? What does this mean? Can I do something or prevent damage?

Maybe there's someone here who has also experienced that. I would be happy if someone had a tip for me.

Yes it doesn't tick properly. With that ticking is just not right at all. Looking for a serious answer…

It could be a defective hard drive that would have to be backed up and replaced as soon as possible.

Please report the result.

Thank you, good to know, and do you happen to know a good free HDD clone program?

I did this with Macrium Reflect Free. Worked properly. Afterwards I made a donation to the boys.

What does CrystalDiskInfo say?

I'm not the FS, thanks again anyway.

St

My mistake.

Thank you for the answers. I uninstalled the flash player and strangely enough the ticking is gone. But I still want to check the hard drive. If no report from me follows soon, then it was probably really defective…

Hard disk condition is good.
