I tried the bios 1.2 on it and it still makes the noise on a usb live boot. Please be reminded I am a monk living in a monastery on a mountain. They turn on a diesel generator at night which has been repaired only a few days ago. For some reason electricity matters with bios update. It worked thankfully!
Do I need to install the other bios ones listed? Still Clicking. Bhikkhu Subhuti I am loving lubuntu. I just installed 4.4.4 stable.

I updated the intel graphics driver I update a few days ago via ubuntu udpater There is a subtle clicking noise coming near from the usb port. The machine is solid state and the ubuntu is running from the sd card The noise happnes with usb live boot too. The mint 17 usb makes the noise too and then warns me that that the graphics gpu will not be used and then the clicking stops. Lubuntu installed on top of ubuntu still makes the noise. Lubuntu live usb does NOT make the noise. Windows 10 does not make the noise. I suspect compiz, but ultimately I think it is a kernal problem. I suspect this is a CherryView Bug. This bug has been reported on ubuntu forums and ask ubuntu and no responses. I will be switching to Lubuntu in a few days unless I hear back from you. I am technical and willing to help.
