Hi all

Recently my computer keeps freezing once booted up.
A strange clicking noise comes from the base unit and after a while the icons on the desktop disappear and it just sits like that with the clicking noise.

I opened the base up and powered on, the noise seems to be coming from the hard drive.

Do yous think a new hard drive will resolve the problem?

Thanks

Also, my computer is about 5 years old, so will a new hard drive work ok in it?
