Problem: PC makes a clicking sound and freezes (I believe the click comes from the PSU or the hard drive).
The freeze seems to be random (never happened under heavy load, mostly while watching videos on Youtube or even while I was on desktop without any program active).
After the freeze a blue screen appears and the PC restarts.
After multiple restarts I am allowed to get to the advanced options (from startup repair). From the startup repair, the only option that lets me get back to Windows is to enable debugging mode.
This keeps happening randomly at least once a week.
