Desktop makes strange clicking noises when resuming from hibernation

Hi  I have a three week old HP Pavilion Desktop 2022 running Windows 7 Home Premium.    I have noticed over the last few days that if  I leave it in hibernation mode for quite some time, when I wake it up Windows starts perfectly but I get 7 or 8 strange clicks from the desktop unit itself.   The desktop doesnt do this during normal startup or restart only when coming out of sleep or hibernation??  Does anyone else have this issue?  Is it normal as I realise whilst in hibernation the fan is not running and it has been extremely warm.  It does sound a bit like  a cooling noise but hope someone can reassure me regarding my concern.  Thank you, all answers are apprecaited.

I'm gonna just say it - Hibernate doesn't work all the time. I've never trusted it, never used it and recommend that no one use it. 
there got it out of the way.
Why did I say that - If you don't plug anything into your PC (cameras, printers, scanners, phones, etc) Or load any other software except for updates from MS and your virus protection, then Hibernate works awesome...
but as soon as anything is added... that app or piece of hardware needs to conform exactly to all the Hibernate specifications and sometimes they don't and they cause some problems.
So the fact that you had a bluescreen means something isn't playing nice. That dump file can be evaluated, but I would start isolating the problem by removing any hardware you've added to see if that helps.
Or - don't use Hibernate - shut it down when you don't use it, and power on when you do
hope that helps and that I don't sound to terrible
good luck

  • Strange clicking noise when rMBP13 is tilted

    Hello All.. I found no existing thread related to this issue, so starting a new one.. This is to let you all know/get your views and experience regarding a (formerly faint but growingly clearer) clicking noise from my one-year old 13 inch retina macbook, and to share the story of my monstrous ordeal trying to get it fixed by Apple. I have bit of a story here.. Sorry I tried my best to shorten it, but this is the shortest it could get..
    About 3 or 4 months back, I started hearing this faint clicking noise from inside the case of my macbook whenever i tilted it, not while working or when the device is stationary, only when I flip the device to one side, usually about 90 degree, with lid open or closed.. When I bought it, my macbook had absolutely no noise from anywhere.. I live in Europe, and living rooms here can be freakishly quiet.. And I used to love it when there was not a click or a hiss out of place while working or carrying it around... To me, this made the device feel solid, and gave the impression of no moving parts inside, even though there were still the cooling fans.. But even they seemed held together so tight not making any noise out of the ordinary.. Of course one could hear them pretty well when they ran in top speed.. eg. during some heavy graphics, games etc.. But this again was a very steady whir.. which upon closing the heavy graphics app, slowed down steadily bringing the noise back to a zero. (I don't know if it's just me, I always thought it was intentionally part of the design, to try and make the whole device look and sound as solid as possible, like nothing lying loose inside).. I used to admire this in Apple devices.. But maybe I was wrong.. I don't know.. Maybe it's only my macbook, or is it all retina macbooks and only I notice and care about such stuff?
    Initially the noise was very faint.. You really needed to be in a quiet room to hear it.. I checked the online forums, there was not much hint except one where it talked about some heat sink or something touching the metal body or so.. (did not really follow that).. Anyway I did not want to open up and experiment since my device was in warranty, so I took advice from the Apple support folks online who asked me to take my macbook to an authorised service centre nearby. (There was no genius bar or so near where I live, it's a smaller town in Germany)..  
    The first place I took it to, was an authorised reseller/service center chain in Germany called 'Compustore'. My experience with them was outright annoying.. The first time i took it to them, they said they couldn't hear anything, as if they were trying to get rid of me.. Then I somehow convinced them to listen to it carefully in a quiet room, they did it and finally nodded that they could hear it, told me that it could be the fan.. (very convenient guess).. Anyway they asked me to leave my macbook there for 2 weeks so a technician can take a look.. (I don't know if its Germany, or does it usually take that long everywhere else for every service?) I did so, after about a week, I got a call from them that my macbook is ready. Upon arriving, they told me that they've replaced the right-fan.. I first thought woww.. they've found it and fixed it.. But when I checked the device myself, i could hear the same clicking noise.. No it wasn't the same.. It was louder..!!! And the worst was only yet to come.. None of them at the store could now hear it !! Furious, I asked them many questions, like how did they know that it was the fan? And why would they replace the fan without knowing it's the real cause.. Finally they had their least experienced (apprentice looking) guy tell me there isn't anything else they could do so I can leave.
    Puzzled and totally ****** off, I walked straight to another reseller 'Gravis Retail'. At this place, everyone could hear the noise.. Loud and clear..!! (Thanks to the Compustore guys, I think they'd opened it up and made a bigger mess of things.) The Gravis guys asked me to leave it there (again 2 weeks!!).. After waiting for more than 2 weeks, I did not get any call or email from Gravis, I called up Apple support to follow up. A gentleman from Apple senior management who deals with Europe, spoke to me, followed up with Gravis and found that they had sent the device to another branch of theirs in Berlin, but the folks at Berlin couldn't hear any noise, so they returned it to my city again, and folks here could hear it and so on.. Furious again, I visited Gravis and asked them why no one called me, the guy had no clue, apologized to me, and promised me that they will have their technician look at it again, first thing next morning.. After 2 days, I got a call from them. When I visited the store they told me that they compared it with other retina 13 inch macbooks and all of them have the noise.. !!!! Extremely angry, I asked them to prove it to me by letting me listen to their other retina macbooks.. Of course, suddenly all of their reference macbooks magically disappeared, some taken back by customers, some went to other locations blah blah.. (The one on display at the store was wired with some beeping device etc, so they did not want to show that one to me, and anyway I wouldn't consider that demo model to be a good reference point).. Finally they too told me there isn't anything more they could do indicating me to leave..
    After a month of leaving it at two different service centres (one of them causing the noise to grow little louder), I have the macbook with me now.. I still hear the noise when I tilt the device (don't tell me not to tilt it).. The gentleman from Apple senior management Europe stopped responding to my emails.. My 1-year warranty ran out this month.. Feeling insecure of what else could go wrong with my device in future, I have now bought the AppleCareProtectionPlan (or rather was cornered into buying it)..
    I am not sure what to do next.. Some of you may tell me its just a little noise after all, and until my macbook has a real problem, there are better things in life I could worry about.. Maybe yes, but I what about the pathetic service I got from those "Authorized Apple Service Centres"?.. And the 'Compustore' guys.. How could they get away with such reckless service, that too in such a technologically advanced nation..? Of course I gave them bad feedback in the reviews, but I don't think anyone cares about those here in Germany.. (I think employees are safer than customers here).. And the Customer Support folks from Apple did not make my situation any better.. Puzzled!! and beginning to wonder - After paying the premium on these Apple products, is it really asking too much for these devices to be flawless? Is it wrong to expect something better than just sugar-coated words of "apologies", "I understand your situation Sir", and "we will surely see what best can we offer you" from Apple phone support team? If we have to live with these issues, why buy Apple?

    yes. mine clicks also. really poor QC if you ask me. I've had all of the iphone versions and this is the worst quality i've seen. This is not the same Apple...
    I'm taking it back and hopefully they'll give me a new one since I've only had it 3 weeks. AND NOT A REFURB either...
    Apple doesn't use refurbished devices for replacements.  However, don't expect a 'new' one either, because that's not something that is promised in your warranty.  What you'll likely get is a remanufactured iPhone.

  • My iMac makes strange clicking noises on the back of it

    It makes some random clicking noises on the back of my iMac that just irritates me alot. What is wrong with it? I purchased it like 2 months ago and I don't think it's a virus or anything. Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Hello:
    I suggest you take the computer in for diagnosis.  Strange noises are not normal. 
    Incidentally, there are NO viruses that affect a Mac running OS X - NONE.

  • Short Clicking noise when resuming pc after it has been idle

    This isn't really a problem just something that is annoying me. When going to my pc after it has been sitting idle, (not hibernating nor do I have the hardisks turnoff ever) I notice a one time short clicking noise from the box. To me it sounds like some extra voltage is being sent somewhere. It has never caused a problem and my rig is and has been stable since I built it. I did have a cheapo powersupply blow up on me so I've kinda been tuned in to that. Anyone know what I'm referring to? Thanks.

    It is a non issue really...I've had alot of machines do this...it is the HD that's doing it and some of them I've seen *especially the older drives* did it all the time...they have a spot that they rest the heads at and when you're away from the machine it parks it there...then it sets a safety level on it and when you come back it doesn't always wait for the safety lever to unegage and that is the click you hear...I don't know if they still do this or not but that click is common...
    Sometimes tho that click, to me, means that the drive is on its way out...but that hasn't been the norm...

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make a clicking noise when i lift it up.

    Hi i just recently got a MacBook Pro. I get this weird clicking noise from the right side of the trackpad. I don't know why its doing this noise but i think its got something to do with the superdrive or cd drive. This only happens when i pick it up or rotate it around on my lap.

    Just to clarify... and in case you're not familiar with how hard drives work... There are metal platters in your hard drive that spin at either 5400 or 7200 times per minute (that's either 90 or 120 times per second respectively). There is a little read head that floats less than a papers width above that super fast spinning platter. If you bump your computer while the read/write head is over the platter, there is a chance it can bump into the spinning platter causing permanent damage to it. As a result, hardware manufacturers have developed ways to lock the head when a "sudden motion" is detected in order to reduce the chance of damage. In some cases (like the MacBooks), it is built into the notebook itself... in other cases, the technology is built into the drive. The clicking you hear, as others have indicated, is the sound of the drive head locking... it's a good thing.

  • IPhone4 makes strange clicking noise *Not from speakers*

    Hello all,
    Recently my iPhone 4, which is nearly a year old, started making a strange sound. The sound is a single click that comes from INSIDE thephone! (Around the silent switch and volume buttons)
    It happens when:
    I press the standby button (Not every time, after a period of it not clicking)
    I press the home button (Not every time, after a period of it not clicking)
    I press the silent switch (Not every time, after a period of it not clicking)
    When I turn the phone on
    When I reset the phone (clicks twice)
    Randomly when I'm not using it, sometimes a few in succession (while on standby), usually after I have pressed one of the buttons or switch, that i said above, it will click again soon after
    Every time I press the standby button while the phone is off (Very weird)
    I have a short time left on my 1 year warranty and intend to send it for repair, however I don't really know what to say is wrong with it....
    All advice is apreciated!
    - Ozzy

    Ok, final update for anyone who comes across this thread with the same issue.
    I sent it to the apple for a service who, unexpectedly, repaired it and sent it back the day it arrived!
    It turns out it was a faulty camera, as that got replaced and I have had no problem since.

  • Click Noise when pasting from the same track

    Hi everyone, it happens that i want to extend a music track with itself. When i copy a region and then paste it at the end, in the transition it sounds like a stapler sound, and very hard sound. The thing is that the music is for relaxation and definitely it can´t sound like that. What can be happening and what can be done?
    Thanks a lot
    Shankara
    Note: I don´t know if i can insert an example of the noise here.

    When you say "tone jump" do you mean you can hear the change in the background noise of your recording?  If so, a few things for you:
    First, be scrupulously accurate when you record.  As far as possible, work in a room where the acoustics are controlled and the background level doesn't change.  If you can't control the room, a device called the "sE Reflexion Filter" used properly can really help but don't be tempted by cheaper imitations which just give you a boomy, boxy sound.  When recording, get a good, accurate level check, set the level then don't change things through the session.  Adjusting the record level also adjusts the background tone.
    Second, a trick used in film and other audio recording is to record a few minutes of the room atmosphere with no dialogue or other sounds going on, then put this in the background of the whole track behind all your edits.  It may seem counter intuitive but having a continuous room sound running in the background is quickly not noticed by the listener but helps cover changes when you edit.
    Third, go to Edit/Preferences/Data and make sure the two boxes related to smoothing transitions are ticked.  You can also play slightly with the durations these options default to.
    Fourth, try working in Multitrack View and do non destructive edits.  If you work there and overlap your clips slightly, Audition will do an automatic crossfade for you--you can configure the crossfade using the little box in the corner of the clip (the one with a diagonal line).   Using cross fades will help disguise your transitions.
    The reality is that getting the recording as near perfect as possible is the best bet, then using the other tricks I list to smooth things farther will be your best bet.
    However, if I've misread what your problem is, I've done a lot of typing for no reason!

  • Hard Drive Makes a Clicking Noise

    My Macbook Pro 2.53 Hardrive makes a clicking noise when I pick up my computer while its on. I know the disk is spinning but none of my other macs do this.

    Hi mattzarr, welcome to Apple Discussions!
    The clicking is just the sudden motion sensor in the computer parking the heads on the HD to protect your data from damage. When moving a spinning HD, there is always the possibility that the reading head (like the needle on a record player) may contact the spinning surface, causing damage. That clicking is the head parking away from the spinning disk, preventing it from damage.
    It is only found on Apple's notebooks, and was introduced sometime around the 3rd last Powerbook G4 generation, if I remember correctly.

  • Strange clicking noise

    Hello all. I hope someone can help me with this question.
    I have a 30g ipod that is less than a year old. I believe I purchased it last October. It has started to make a strange clicking noise when I play music.
    I tend to use it alot since I can listen to music at work. I would say that it runs for about 9 hours a day. Most of the time when it is in use, it is hooked up directly to the speakers and the battery charger.
    Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know what the problem is?
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi Dakota!
    First, have you tried resetting your iPod? To reset an iPod:
    First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (leave it on the white side of the switch).
    Then, press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons together for 5-10 seconds.
    You might need to attempts this quite a few times. Also, if you connect your iPod to your computer or another power source while resetting, that can be more effective.
    If resetting doesn't help, then I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod in iTunes.
    For info on restoring, see this article about it:

  • ITunes makes metal clicks noises

    Sometimes my iTunes makes metal clicks noises when playing music and sometimes it does not. It seems related to an OS update issue. I use the USB audio Editor UA1D interface to listen my music so the bug may only occurs using USB audio. It is really tiny noises but if I pay attention they are hard to miss. Any one as experienced this problem?
    I have a Mac mini but I experienced the problem on my iBook too so it does not seem related to the hardware.

    Heey, I think I've solved it! It's that damned QuickTime 7. check out this link.

  • Resuming from hibernation, no gataway set.

    Hello.
    I have a problem when resuming from hibernation. When I resume, i have no gateway set. I have to write "route add default wg ..." every time when I resume. How can I solve that?
    Regards.

    I have been having the same problem.  What I have found so far is if the power source changes between going into hibernation and when you try to power it up again I will see it reenter hibernation.  For example, if I'm running on battery and put it into hibernation, plug the computer into AC power and then try to resume it will resume and then almost immediately return to hibernation.  I have to pull the AC power cord out of the laptop, resume and then after it has reached its normal state then reattach the power cord.

  • Why does my MacBook Pro make clicking noises when pressure is applied to the unibody?

    I purchased a MacBook Pro in late July of this year. Recently, I have noticed that when I begin to type on the keyboard, the unibody will make a faint sound when pressure from my hands is applied to the MacBook. I also notice a faint clicking noise when I pick up the MacBook Pro to move it somewhere. Additionally, the screen hinge makes a faint clicking noise when the screen is opened. Are these sounds normal?

    Check if an AASP (Apple Authorised Service Provider) is closer, as some do not trust Geek Squad to diagnose something as simple as "all the keys are missing". But judge for yourself.: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434

    A "clicking noise" is often a sign that a hard drive is malfunctioning. Suggest that you power down the device and take it to an Apple store to have them take a look, or contact Customer Service at Apple for instructions.
