everyone should have malwarebytes (http://malwarebytes.org) on their computer

clicking noises are never a good sign when they're coming from your hard drive, it could be on the brink of failure.

in Resource Monitor, check out the Memory tab, and if there are a large number of so-called "hard faults" this is indicative of your system using the pagefile since the RAM is fully utilized.
