Q: Weird sound coming from iMac Mid 2011

Hello everyone!

 

So, my iMac started making a weird noise lately, and it sounds like the hard drive is about to die.

It sounds almost like a watch ticking away, and i´ve already had a crash where i was met with the "white screen of death". I had to reinstall everything, and i think it will happen again very soon if i don´t replace it.

I did recently add on 2 more 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM to fill out the slots. They are "Mac-ram" and fits the specs of the factory installed RAM completely, so i don´t think this is the issue.

 

Please check out the sound and give me some feedback on how to fix it:

Oh and my specs are:

 

OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6

iMac (21.5-inch, Mid 2011)

2,8 GHz Intel Core i7

16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

Macintosh HD

AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB

1 TB Sata Disk (the default disk it came with)

Logic Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
