Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Well, it depends on the type of clicking noises...
I repair hundreds of IBM ThinkPads's a year, and the most common issue is with hard drives, and one of the primary symptoms is...
Clicking noises. It's the heads trying to seek bad sectors.
Go to the Hitachi site and download their Drive Fitness test.

If you don't have a floppy, a few scrolls down they have a bootable CD ISO you can download to create a bootable CD.
As always, backup before testing.
