 Running incredibly slowly while in Mac OS could be caused by a faulty sensor on the motherboard, look at the YouTube channel of Louis Rossmann for more information on that kind of issue. It's not going to be cheap to repair though.

The ticking noise at startup might be coming from your hard drive or it might be the fan or the optical drive. Download and run CrystalDiskInfo on your hard drive and post a screenshot of its results and that will let us determine if your hard drive is definitely failing.
