When i switch on the PC, it started with a 'tik' sound and after about 2 or 3 minutes it suddenly turn off by itself with the same 'tik' sound.. I am unable to explain the 'tik' sound

.. Its not the Beep sound that i usually heard.. Can anybody help me..

check ur UPS and SMPS and also clean your system RAM. Better go to nearest vendor

It can be due to a variety of reasons.

Refer this thread.

tik usually = impending hard disk head crash

BACK UP YOUR DATA AND GET IT CHECKED

i tooo had the Similar problem but
after i heard the Tick the System used to Struck totally
Changing The Hdd Cable helped For Me

Check your RAM.

Check the SMPS and motherboard fan.

Check your cables, sometimes it tends to get loose (even i have that problem).

Hope this helps.

dude...it could be that ur proccy is getting overheated.....
my proccy has a limit of 105"....and i had not placed the heatsink properly...so had this same problem.... till i resolved it by fitting the heatsink properly.....

and yeah that sound is simply, ur hard-disk shutting down!!!

dude it occurred with me too 1 week ago . it is generaly due to over heating i simply cleaned my pc ( a lot of dust ) with vacuum cleaner ( i was playing my cpu fan passing air with blower and broke it he he he ) and now it is working fine .

OK! Will check it out.. Thanx for the replies
