check ur UPS and SMPS and also clean your system RAM. Better go to nearest vendor

It can be due to a variety of reasons.

tik usually = impending hard disk head crash

BACK UP YOUR DATA AND GET IT CHECKED

Check your RAM.

Check the SMPS and motherboard fan.

Check your cables, sometimes it tends to get loose (even i have that problem).

Hope this helps.

dude...it could be that ur proccy is getting overheated.....
my proccy has a limit of 105"....and i had not placed the heatsink properly...so had this same problem.... till i resolved it by fitting the heatsink properly.....

and yeah that sound is simply, ur hard-disk shutting down!!!
