Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and would like to help

I suggest you update the BIOS from this Link: https://support.hp.com/in-en/products/

Also run a System Test to confirm the Hardware Functionality

- Shut down the Notebook completely
- Turn it back on, then tap the Esc key repeatedly until the Startup menu screen is displayed.
- Press F2 to select System Diagnostics.
- Click System Tests, then click Extensive Test.
 

Keep me posted

Thank you for the reply, I am using a desktop computer not a laptop

If I run the System Test will it make any changes to the contents of my computer

This noise has only happened about 3 times since I bought the computer new in October

@janey25 Thanks for the clarification and the steps remain same for both desktop and notebook PCs, also to answer your question, it does not affect any of your personal contents, I suggest you perform the test and get back to us with the results, good luck!
