Product: HP OMEN - 15.6"

Okay so I am unsure of what my problem is but I have two thoughts. I have a unknown clicking noise coming from my HP Omen 15 laptop, it sounds like clicking and clunking then silence for a bit. I have asked around, I have been told it could be the dust on my fans but I have very little dust on my fans, one reason I don't think it is my fans is because it sounds like the clicking noise is closer to my hard drive and when the noise goes silent I can still hear my fans which are not making a clicking noise. But sometimes I think its both the fans and the hard drive  Also my startup time is like 25 minutes to like half an hour, I don't know why. I have done tests on my computer and I have deleted any threats. For a couple weeks it was like my Windows was corrupted but then all of a sudden it came back but the clicking noise did not. I am unsure whether or not my windows is 32 or 64 bit so I did not select anything, it is windows 10. I need help fast honestly. I cannot deal with my start up time being half an hour with the amount of work I need to do at school. I really hope all I have to do is reinstall Windows and I hope the clicking is a simple fix.

 

Thank you in advanced, I am very unsure of any of this please help soon.
