Hello, first when I turned on my laptop started to hear tickling sounds, then saw msg smth like "ask technician or smth to check if all programs are upted or installed correctly", then went to bios.When I turn on comp now I can see intel inside picture and boot or bios after I press save changes and exit(I did no changes as I don't know how to do)I see black screen again and is written: "Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Isert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key". Do you know what is this and if I can still save some information?Thanks for answer!!!

Have no idea what Dave is saying, but I agree with Walter. A clicking HDD usually means the drive has died. If you can, piggy-back it to another system and see if you can at least access it to copy your data.
