Ticking: Quite possible that there is a wire catching the processor fan, graphics card fan or case fan. Pop the side off (when you find your screwdriver 
) and see where the noise is coming from
Cleaning out: With the power off, get a soft paintbrush or a spare makeup brush and brush the dust off the motherboard and components. Don't hoover the actual boards but brush the dust into the nozzle.
If you get really stuck, bring it to Bristol munch and i'll do it for you

It is possible that this might be the early stages of a failure of your hard disk - so it's a good idea to ensure you are up-to-date with your back-ups.

Good point.:thumbup:
Varca, look to see if the hard disk light is flashing on in time with the ticking. If it is, that'll be the guilty component. Get it backed up quick - i.e. copy all your treasured pictures/music/videos/porn onto DVD or CD - just in case.
Before taking the side off, back-up. Never play with the computer without an up to date back-up.
If you have your PC set up for power saving and it is the hard disc going; the noise will be there when you are using the PC; there when the screen goes blank; then later it will stop when the hard disc stops spinning, and return when you hit a key to wake it.
You can check out the wires to see if they are contacting the fans.
BUT as said PCs do not like static. So stand on natural fibers and do not wear nylon.Best not to wear anything. Then touch the casing before touching any other parts.

Please please please please please ONLY use air. Don't use a paintbrushProcessors and motherboards cost a fortune to replace would hate for this to happen to you.
Been using brushes to clean for years, never had a problem. Also used to use them when working at Lucas Aerospace servicing kit where the anti static compliance procedures are very stringent.
As long as you've grounded yourself sufficiently the risk of ESD damage is minimal and todays semi's are even more stable than the old stuff. (always use a natural hair brush though, not a cheap n nasty nylon thing):thumbup:

What do you expect from a drunken catholic priest and a giant blue bear :doh:

... I followed all advice, apart from the nekkid one :giggle: ....
I would like to point out that the suggestion was made on sound scientific principle. Static is generated by the rubbing together of two materials. One that is..... So removing all nylon etc will reduce the generation of static.
The fact that science can give me a thrill is just serendipity. :lol2:
