Well the first thing has been happening for a while now but whenever I move my macbook pro fast, like picking it up or something, it makes a clicking noise. Second, I turned my computer on this morning and while the screen was still black it made like a 2 second loud noise and then the screen went to the white screen with the gray apple logo like on a normal start-up but it had like a loading bar underneath the apple logo and then shut off and then turned back on. Has this happened to anyone before? Does anyone know what this is? Thanks

The loading bar usually indicates it's restoring the contents of RAM from the hard drive. This is normal.
