Try booting from the install disc. by holding down the "C" on the keyboard. If it boots normally from the disc you have a hard drive problem and it will need to be replaced.
If it doesn't boot normally from the disc you have a logic board problem and it will be needing to be replaced.

hi, your starter gear clutch bearing is "warning" you. It will fail shortly.That's a one way bearing that ""engages" your starter when you hit thr starter and "desingage" when the engine starts .
It'a also possible that you hear some noise when you stop the engine.Your bike must be around 30000 km ?

Bike starts to turn over but then stops and you hear this rapid clicking noise. Prior to this it would start but sometimes hear a fairly loud crunch noise like starter or something before it kicked over....

Its probably either a low charge on your battery or the battery cables don't have a good connection. If the battery's more than a few years old I'd just replace it because it will likely continue losing charge now that its already been drained once.

Vehicle will not start, normally when ignition is in on position there is a whining noise for a few seconds, I wait until the whining stops and then start the vehicle. Now, when ignition is on on position...

Hi. The whining noise you hear is the fuel pump priming the fuel lines. If you don't hear the sound anymore then your fuel pump has stopped working. Check your fuses. Also look for a relay for the fuel pump. The relay will usually be in a large box under the hook that says fuse and relay panel or something similar. If the fuses and relay are working the the pump will probably need to be replaced.
