Why is my Acer Predator G9-793 Laptop making clicking/popping noises all of a sudden?

I've been searching to see if anyone has had the same issue as me, but I've had no luck! Most people have posted about a buzzing noise in their computer, but mine sounds like something is clicking on the inside. I've had the laptop not even 2 years yet, and haven't had this issue til now. Whenever I do a high demanding task (playing a game, editing a video in my video editing software, etc) I hear the clicking and get bad lag. Games will actually freeze and I can't continue playing. Sometimes I can even start up a game to begin with. Until a few days ago, everything was working just fine! Here is a link to a video of it happening so you can hear the sound! ->

Are you using an HDD or SSD. If it's an HDD it could be going bad

Thanks for the tip! I have both actually. I use the HDD for more of my projects/games because it has more disk space. That's sucks if that's what it is, considering I haven't had this computer long
