Question PC occasionally making a buzzing noise (Sounds like from PSU) Question Best way to make a clean install drive Question Newly built PC making strange cricket and humming noises after 3 months of usee. Question High CPU temp and some games make PC restart when I launch them Would a hard drive keep the computer from POSTing? My concern is that, when it clicks, the computer doesnt even have a chance to get to the HDD for it to be a problem. I opened the case and agree that the sound looks like it is coming from the HDD, I could remove them and see if it continues. The voltage floating transformer in the UPS will pick up the slack. I've seen this with cheap power supplies where you start a load in the house(refrigerator, microwave, vacuum) and the starting current causes a voltage spike that the power supply doesn't react to fast enough, and the computer may stay on and the hard drive will click off, then spin back up 10 seconds later.

But in scenarios like that, you have LOTS of other problems, and the clicking noise just confuses you more. If the PSU is giving sporatic power to the hard drive, it may make a clicking noise when it spins down and back up due to voltage fluctuations. Anything else is an easy replacement.Īs a side note, and I find this VERY unlikely. If it's the hard disk your data needs to be backed up now. You need to isolate the clicking noise ASAP. Either a fan, hard disk, floppy(when in use) or CD drive(when in use). clicking is from a physical motion in your computer. When you get to one of them you will find that the action that is messing you up, causing the beep (the action you forgot to complete, opening or saving a file) will also open.and then you just need to either complete that action or void it and you can get on with your work without having to reboot Adobe Acrobat.Reguardless of what might be wrong with your motherboard, I really don't see how a clicking noise can be blamed on the motherboard.

Click on it and then open, one by one, each of your open files.start from the one at the bottom.

Another, less brutal, solution is to go down to the Adobe Acrobat logo on the taskbar, at the bottom of your screen.

The problem is that all your Acrobat files that were open will close (without saving), and seemingly, if you have lots of them open, only a few will reopen after you restart Acrobat.but you can then proceed with your work.Ģ. Go to the Task Manager and then click on Adobe Acrobat and End Task (someone said this already). The problem, for me, always arises because I have started to save or open a file and then have moved on to another file before finishing to open or close that original file. I sometimes get Adobe Acrobat frozen, with a single beep anytime I try to do anything to any file.
