    At least I think it's my hard drive. Every time when I"m browsing and I click on something i hear a "clicky" noise. This noise isn't from the speakers since the sound was off.

    Is there anyway I can get it fixed or perhaps get a new hard drive. All I would have to do is create a back-up image, and then load the image onto the new drive, right? Thanks guys.

    I don't think there's such a thing as a "completely" silent harddisk, they all are humming and clicking to some extent... But, if this noise really bothers you, then you should think about getting a SSD.
