What do you mean, it "died"? How so? You cannot turn the power on?

powers on but the HD just makes a clicking sound. so i figured that the thing is pretty much shot.this pc has given me nothing but trouble,i've replaced everything inside it at least once,some parts more. (power supply)

That's similar to what I had to go through shortly after I had first gotten my PC. As it turned out, there was something wrong with the C-MOS battery or something to that effect. So I simply used my warranty to exchange it for another one.

Is the HD the only part screwed up? If so (and if you're computer is pretty fast) then you should just replace the HD. My old pc did that once the HD died, the HD would make a clicking noise. This is waaaay back, I had downloaded visual studio so I could use the visual basic on it (the highschool visual basic class gave us some bull**** demo versions). Then one day I decided I didn't want it anymore and uninstalled it. I can't remember exactly what happened but the pc froze, i restarted and nothing was working right. Then I tried formatting but it almost every damn few seconds it would say something about a bad sector, which doesn't sound all too good to me. From then I knew the HD was shot so I just opened it and there were a few scratches on the disk. I put it back together, put it in the pc again and it started making those clicking noise.... so in a way I was the reason why it made the clicking noises
