Weird clicking noise and computer freezes.

Solved!

Found a misfed page jammed inside the printer on far
right side ( by the ink service station) - after removing the
"hidden" wad, the printer no longer makes "clicking" sounds
and prints right away!

Officejet Pro 8600

the 'clicking' sound might be a defective hard drive, which also explains some of those other issues.seems that perhaps a local computer tech can easily identify that, and then you may need to do a hard drive recovery exercise to recover hard data.

To fix your computer you need to clean the following areas:

• Temporary Files
• Recycle Bin
• Recent Documents
• Explorer MRUs
• Search Auto-complete
• Cookies
• Internet History
• Download History
• Internet Cache
• Fix corrupt registry and windows files
  

By using this tool RegInOut you can easily remove all the unwanted programs and service to improve computer speed.

you could run the check disk utility
click start run type cmd then type chkdsk/r/f which will scan for and attempt to repair any bad sectors and automatically fix any corrupt files on your hard drive then defragment your hard drive or
go to control panel administrive tools computer management you can right click on the drive select properties tools check now?tick in both boxes to scan for and attempt to repair/recover any bad sectors and automaticall fix any corrupt files
in xp
hope this helps

Could be overheating problem. Your processor fan is dirty or faulty. Or its vent and airway is clog.

most clicking sound are made by failing harddrive... check with gateway people again if it is still under warranty and ask them to replace the drive or fix it.

fyi -- if it is really the hard drive that is making the clicking noise... there is a big chance that you will loose your data
