I can hear a weird noise comming out of my comp around the fron of it toward
the harddrive area at cetain times, also during games. it sounds like a click
and then it loads or struggles but its only for a second. It would often
freeze. I installed SP2 from cd and I dont know if it has anything to do
with it.
Any ideas

Only if you forgot to take the CD out of the drive.

It sounds like a clicking noise and its doing it more often. There is nothing in the cd drives

Should I try uninstalling SP2 becasue this started happening after i
installed it or it might be coincidence.
It seems to be a clicking noise. Any ideas on what it is or if it is that
how do i get rid of it.
 
John;
That clicking noise could be the hard drive failing.
This would not be related to SP-2 installation.
IMMEDIATELY back up all important data.
Then go to the hard drive manufacturers website and get their hard drive
diagnostics.

===============
John, my new HP computer did that after a few months. The HD was failing!
I'm so glad I backed everything up because HP had to install a new HD. On
checking, they found the CD-R/RW/DVD drive was also failing. Since they
replaced them last Feb we haven't had any strange noises from either drive.
Even "new" HDs can fail.

The noises we heard were a faint clicking, ticking and what sounded like
marbles rolling around.
