I know I was just hoping by some chance a new dvd drive would fix the problem. I disconnected the cables from the dvd drive & the conputer still won't boot up. Theres no beep but I think it used to.

Right, my dvd drive arrived today so I've just replaced the old one that was clicking & it still won't boot up. My tv is recognising theres something connected via hdmi but its blank.. I even tried connecting my new hard drive as the main & nothing. Not too good with comps but any ideas? Cheers.

lol I bought the new 500gb hard drive before I posted on here, but I needed a new one anyway as I ran out of room for all my music, movies etc so i'll just add it as a secondary. I've ordered a new cheap Liteon dvd writer it was only like £15 so see if it makes a difference when it arrives this week. Cheers guys.

Believe it or not, I actually bought a new hard drive as I assumed that was the problem. Put the new hd in thinking I could just reinstall windows & the clicking sound remained without booting up still, with the computer case off I now know it's the CD rom drive. I'll buy a cheap CD rom drive & see if it works.

Hello guys. A while ago I was using my computer just browsing the net etc & I got the blue screen of death. My computer restarted fine but then a few days later it did again, this time it didn't restart & my CD Rom drive started making a clicking noise like a click every second. It won't open & now my computer won't boot up, it sounds like it's booting up but the CD drive just keeps clicking & the screen is blank there's no bios screen or anything. Any ideas? Cheers.
