Clicking Sounds Again

[Ste]

I just ran Super Memory PI, the 32M calculation, after that 3 minutes after being done, I hear a clicking, like somthing depowering. computers freezes, I get Machine_Check_Exception BSOD.

I reboot, while loading windows, it does same think, a click like something is powering down then turning back on.

 

Ima try safe mode right now. What could it be? I know could be harddrive dieing.

Specs in sig.

Lower your overclock/reset your CMOS. Maybe you went too high!

safe mode, Same sounds and freeze

last known good configuration, same sounds and freeze

incerted XP disk, changed boot priority to boot from it, bios didn't detect any my my 3 drives, can't get to boot off XP disk, continusly says boot failure.

Clearing CMOS now.

funny thing is, never went higher than 2.30 Ghz

 

Edit 10 Minutes later, I cleared CMOS got it to boot from XP disk, I hit r for repair however, it went to XP recovery or something then it asked me what install i wanted to log onto So I typed one hit enter asked for admin password, but I don't have one so I just rebooted, anyways.

Bios detects all drives, windows boots. Ok so it works but, I turn it off for safty, I will buy another 120GB soon so I may copy over? any other ideas, suggestions? I don't even know how to copy whole contents of a drive.

 

Edit the next day- Guys I really need advice here, just listen. I can get into windows but random time into it, just surfing web, I get clicking sound then BSOD, Machine_check_exception.

So should I buy a new 120 GB Hd, Copy data over then try reformatting the one I have?

I do I copy data over?

 

Hrmmm Could a virus do this? I bet yes but I don't want to lose my songs more importantly then anything else on it.
