Loud click and beep

HP Pavillion dv7-4285dx Entertainment Notebook PC

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

 

A few months into using computer there is an intermittent loud beep and click noise (similar to the sound my cd rom drive makes when opening).  I have noticed that somethimes when computer shuts down or hibernates, this will occur.  Sometimes it just happens randomly.

 

Customer support told me to do a hard drive test.  Both passed (long & short)

Customer support told me to do a full system recovery. Problem still occurs.

Re: Loud click and beep

Sounds like a software issue. Some form of update, or notice sound?

CD/DVD drivers reupdateing, and fails, so it does it again??

Can you post a screen shot of this?....:smileywink:

 

OK, so try this:

>Uninstall the CD/DVD driver from the 'DEVICE MANAGER'

>REBOOT

The driver should reinstall after the reboot.

Check the cd/dvd unit in all its functions, including burning a disk.
