The problem with Paul's computer is that the magnetic hard drive failed.

Explanation:

A magnetic hard drive or hard disk is a non-volatile storage device, which is used to store different information on a computer.

The magnetic disk is made up of numerous magnetic plates, these plates are divided into sectors and tracks. A spindle is present in the middle to rotate the combined plates or the whole unit.

When there is a clicking noise coming from the magnetic disk, it could mean that one of the plates is damaged or if the power to the computer is inconsistent. This can greatly affect the performance of your computer.
