HELP ASAP

Okay guys, heres the thing.
It started about 3 days ago, everytime I go play a flash game, or watch a video for example, on youtube, everything slows down. Things pause at certain intervals, as if my computer is lagging. My cursor even moves slowly now. Whenever this happened to me, I would normally hear a small click sound in my hardrive beside me, before it started. So my only solution, was to restart my computer, which normally works.

Now, whenever my computer starts, I ALWAYS hear that clicking noise. And my computer always starts off with that LAG. Can anyone help?

Much thanks,

Maybe you have aids...

Nah just kidding man, maybe send in your computer for a quick check up.

Everyone recommends that...i think ill wait a bit and see if it settles down or not first.

System restore to a time that it last worked, try that. A virus may be on your computer that you don't recognize.

hmm, ill try that later, thanks

go to programms and look up my post that has a virsus scan in it

No, I don't think it has anything to do with viruses.. I use avast and it doesn't find anything.

Maybe your computer is about to pack it in, how old is your computer??
Cause my bro's comp. is making strange clicking noises and my dad thinks his comp. is about to break down.

How old is it? Is it vista? Maybe its a hardware problem, you should get it checked soon

5 years old, aaron.
No, its not vista...

Alright, so we know it isn't any crappy Vista problem. 5 years old isn't THAT old. You should just get it checked out.

Ok, now I agree with Sleepy you just bring it in for a check up and see what they have to say about it...

wow 5 years old that sounds like my dads comp

lol...maybe
or i might just wait and get a faster pc later... :S
