Apologies that I am very basic with PC problems. I have a HP Compaq 8000 SFF PC
clicking loudly (begins about 5 minutes after power on).
Sound seems to be coming from the front of the PC (?sound card?).
Pretty sure not the Hard Drive, as I've swapped round a few times.
I've all but given up trying to make a guess as to what it is, but what I did was buy another
working same model PC as a replacement, thinking I might be able to interchange parts (?)
to tell what is the culprit in the faulty PC.
I have recorded the sound here:

Can I please ask the advice of anyone out there with far more knowledge than me what it could be.
Thank you in advance, Maryanne.
