I aborted during the file copy process.
It was hanging and i wanted to go to bed and we run on generator until 10pm.
I later did a full install on a diffenrent SD just like my lubuntu (my main system).
That ubuntu had same problems..and the problem with the new bios seemed to be the same. 
That is...it loads fine, and then after a few reboots, it cannot find grub and gives a minimal.
Boot repair is needed all of the time.
Sometimes if yiu play with the settings without using boot repair, grub loads for some magical reason.
Tpm is disabled by the way.
Clearing tpm resetting factory defaults and redoing the efi file to the list often seems work.
Most of my playing is with Lubuntu 15.10 4.4.4 kernel.
I only booted with ubuntu a few times.


This clicking noise problem happens in versions before.  I said that.  I had a mint 17.  That made noise until it said it was not using the gpu and warned me it would use heavy CPU.   Then the clicking stopped.   That is key information for you that it is likely the cherryview.
Lubuntu 15.10 does not make the noise.
Wiles ubuntu makes noise.

Whatever I am tesrin is 15.10

The legacy boots worked fine with all versions of ubuntu flavors I just mentioned IN BIOS 1.09
The full install of ubuntu 15.10 with rc7 and not doing updates of other stuff still clicks with bios 1.12
I really think this is not the bios.


The uefi problems are new for this bios which I will be downgrading,  after I get myself to register my acer with acer.  
I need to be registered to get warrantee,  but this bios thing might break my warrantee.   You know, I am a monk with no money because I do not touch money.  This was a gift.  And it is not the most expensive computer, but it is all I have.  I am also now in Myanmar so warrantee is a little difficult too.  Lastly Internet is expensive and I need to ask my parents for refills.  I have downloaded quite a lot already with rc6 rc7 and  4.4.4 .
The Lubuntu 15.10 has the updates plus 4.4.4
The clicking ubuntu 15.10 has no updates but rc7. Bios 1.12 full install on sd
The clicking noise happened with ubuntu 15.10 with updates and 4.2 kernel full install on SD bios Version 1.09
No clicking on 15.10 lubuntu either live usb or full install or any bios.

*******It is unlikely i will be testing ubuntu until you tell me what the noise is. 
Lubuntu is much better anyway.  Super fast and lean.

Title:
  clicking noise on acer 131t-c1yf

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My machine is solid state.
  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.
