    guys I get a random click... well it's more like a squeeky click or pop type sound. It happens randomly and only once or twice an hour.

    It's coming from around the centre of the laptop I think (L702x) anyone else get this or know what it might be?

    nope, the click is still there :confused:

    maybe it's the hard drive or some other power management feature

    probably HDD, had it many times on other machines before. HDD's are yesterday anways. I just bought my new vertex 3 and it makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE! The PC feels 5x faster! almost like the HDD was the only bottleneck to a AWESOME system: IMAGINE 500 MB in ONE SECOND! Win starts in 6 seconds
