You are a desktop technician at a large company. A user has been complaining that their desktop has been making clicking noises and tasks like booting up and opening files has become very slow. What is most likely the cause of these issues?
None of the above
Solid State Drive failure
Malfunctioning HDD
VGA mode is disabled
Most computers only have one moving/mechanical part - the hard disk drive. A clicking noise is a common indicator of a failing drive. The slowness is likely caused by disk read errors, leaving the logical answer to be the HDD. It is not likely to be a SSD issue because solid state drives do not have moving parts and would not make a clicking noise.
