last week i just recovered my computer from it not starting up.I would turn it on and it would go through the normal boot process and thn it would restart.well i reinstalled windows and whn it started up it started making weird sounds like a coffee perculator but not as loud.my computer still works but its just that sound and i've noticed system speed has slowed down considerably.and it freezes everytime i open a program then after a minute the program opens up and everything works.

Also, your hard drive may be failing. The weird noises at startup make me think the computer is trying to read data from a bad spot on the hard drive but is having difficulty getting a good read so it keeps trying until successful.

That sounds like one of your fans is failing. The bearings wear out over time and they don't rotate properly or as fast. It's the little ones that seem to die first. Check your video card fan, motherboard fan, CPU fan, power supply fan and any other case fans. The fans are measured in millimeters so a motherboard might have a 40x40x10 size. Just search the internet for a place to get a replacement.
Video card fans are tricky because they are sort of custom made for the heatsink in which they sit. You might just want to get a new card.
Power supply fans can be replaced except that you have to be careful about not touching anything inside the power supply. There are some large voltages in there even after its been unplugged. You will have to cut the wires to the fan and twist the new ones on then tape them up with electrical tape so they don't short out on anything.
If its a laptop, there is probably a CPU fan in there that I wouldn't know how to replace except by sending it to the manufacturer or service shop. This is like a video card in that its probably something custom made to match the heatsink and mounting design.

Open the case and see if the fans are spinning freely. Listen at the back when you plug it in and listen if the power supply is spinning freely.
If the inside feels exceptionally warm you have a cooling problem.

i had the same problem so here is your solution:
restart the system and while the black screen at the very begining appears press the "Del." button . this should take you to the bios settings all you have to do is select reset the default settings and save changes and exit. restart and Done.
good luck

The ticking noise is maximum possibly the stressful rigidity. I hate to assert it, yet it extremely is between the noises a stressful rigidity makes earlier demise. The predicted value relies upon on the dimensions of the stressful rigidity, and what OS you want to positioned on it.
