Hello,

Are the clicking sounds coming from your hard drive? If so that would be trouble. Do you get a Blue Screen of Death when it crashes?

Hello,

Well the only way to really test this is by doing a battery of tests. First try MemTest86 to rule out RAM issues. Also try CoreTemp and ATiTool if you can use them to check temps. Links Below:

ATITool - Overclocking utility for ATI and NVIDIA cards
