Windows 10: Clicking Noise and Computer Crash, Please Help!

Hi folks, I’m new to this sub, but I hoped this was an appropriate place to put this. I’ve had my Asus laptop for 5 1/2 years now. It’s seen heavy duty use pretty much every day since I’ve bought it. I’m running Windows 10 on it as well. Right now, my computer will run for 10-20 minutes, then a loud “CLICK” noise will happen, and my computer will crash. I’ve tried a lot of different things, but can’t get it to work. I plan on getting a new gaming pc soon, but I am super tight on cash unfortunately. Any help as to what the issue is or how I can extend its life? Thanks in advance

Clicking noise in system?

Hi everyone,

I've searched over the internet to try to find out what in the world is happening in my system. I try to avoid posting help questions, but I am truly stumped and I cannot find any answers online. I am wondering if any of the smart TPU users have any clue what is happening.

I keep hearing "clicks" in my system. I mine scrypt coins using my GPUs, so they are almost constantly pegged at 100% load. My miner occasionally switches pools or loses connection, causing the GPUs to drop to 0% load for a short period. The thing I notice is that when the GPU load drops from 100% to 0%, I immediately hear an audible "click" in my system, and the "click" happens again immediately as the GPUs return from 0% to 100% usage. The "click" definitely isn't random, and it is not sustained under zero load or 100% load; it only occurs when changing states.

The pressing questions I have is if anyone can help me trace this to a specific component and if this will result in any long term damage to my system.

Other internet forums I read where people reported "clicking" noises suggested checking fans for bearings or to see if the blades are striking one component, but I cannot see any such issues in my system and since the noise is not constant it's unlikely to be a rotating fan. I would best describe it as sounding like a small mechanical relay engaging, but I thought modern computers were all solid state?

Thanks for the help.

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?
