My Acer Nitro 5 won't boot and clicks from inside.

So I've had my laptop for about 2 or so years and never had a problem. But earlier today I was going to type something and it wouldn't type. After clicking the letter "w", it would pop up options on the bottom left of my screen. Then when I looked it up on my phone, It said to look in Ease of access, so I went to do that, (keep in mind I haven't clicked anything yet) and the computer just shuts off. I tried and turn it back on and it said preparing automatic repairs". I waited for a minute and it started clicking from the inside. I took of the hard drive cover to listen and it turned out to be what was clicking. What do I need to do to get it back up and running?

What is the exact model? Example an515-51-75kz. What did you mean by "I waited for a minute and it started clicking from the inside"?

egydiocoelho The model is "AN515-42-R5ED". I have a video of the noise. I also bought a new hard drive and it is making the same noise but the computer still works. https://youtu.be/1kDrCSHdWLE
