Today i was on my computer when something started making noises in box. It sounded like a clicking noise as if u were turning something on or off. I hit the restart button because the comp froze and when it was restarting it froze on the XP screen where it loads up. I shut it off completely and went to turn it on a little later and it turned on for about 1 sec then right back off again. Now when i try it, it wont even turn on a little. I dotn smell anything burning so i dont think its a short, any ideas?I'm afraid your hard drive MAY have physical damage.  The heads very well may be scratched.  If you are/were hearing clicks when your cpu would start up, this is most surely the case.  If so, do NOT keep restarting your computer -- this CAUSES the hard drive to be worked per startup; this can worsen the the heads and you may lose all your data.  Unfortunately, i don't know how to fix this.  I know people can have clean-room pros fix a hard drive and save data.  I've also heard that putting your HD in a freezer may help, however, i don't recommend that based on the fact that i've never heard anyone successfully utilizing that approach.  Best advice: get advice from hard drive pros.  Best luck to you.hi collins  iam clement first of all check that your smps fan is running properly or blocked
your processor fan may be blocked by some cables open the cabinet and see Quote
