Default Hard Drive hangs after a clicking noise


Recently i have aquired a new problem, sometimes while working there is a strange clicking noise in th HDD and the system hangs.Then i have to restart it.sometimes the problem persists untill i reconnect the IDE cable of the HDD.
I have seen this kind of problem in my software institue which makes the system hang and having the need to reconnect the IDE cable.I am not sure whether it has the same clicking noise.When this happens the HDD is not detected in the BIOS and an "Insert Correct Boot Device" mesage appears.
The 12V and 5V are achieved correctly.

But What exactly is causing the problem, 'cause all other times it works like nothing's happened.
