After looking at some other posts, I suggest try unplugging everything from the back of the PC except the monitor and power and turn it on. Any change?

We can check the BSODs to see if anything needs to be done about it.

But if your hard drive checks out, and the computer otherwise runs well, then I wouldn't worry about the clicks until necessary.

Use BlueScreenView to provide details about your errors.

• Download the .zip file and extract to a folder on your desktop. Open that folder and run BlueScreenView.exe.
  
• After BSV completes its scan, click Edit > Select All. Then click File > Save Selected Items and save the report to your desktop as BSOD.txt
  
• Open BSOD.txt in Notepad and copy/paste all of its content to your next reply.

===========================================

One stray thought.
I have heard sounds that are similar to clicking come from the Optical drive on some computers when they are powered on for a few seconds. More so when the computer is set to check the drive ahead of the hard drive in the boot options.

if i knew why it has been getting bsod i might not need a new m/b

My first guess as to the BSODs is that you need to update your drivers starting with the chipset driver. NETIO.sys is a MS networking driver and vsmraid is a SATA RAID driver. Both these deal with devices on the motherboard.

do you mean motherboard update?

The motherboard chipset driver, yes.

i updated them about 4 months ago when i fitted the m/b, i have never heard of that causing bsod.

Presuming no bad hardware, it may be that your chipset driver may have been giving you BSODs ever since. Very infrequent, though.
