if a hard drive were to die, you would hear loud clicking

Not always. Sometimes they die without warning for unknown reasons. Sometimes they die with warning (slower performance, etc.), again for unknown reasons. You fail.

Ahhh, the teenage ego. Truth be told, bad RAM is not the end-all solution to figuring out a slow system. It's often a useful troubleshooting tool, but usually not the very first thing others would check for every problem. Also, truth be told, a lot of people who aren't too-familiar with computers are uncomfortable with pulling out components, especially as something as fragile as RAM that can only go in one-way, is easy to snap/crack, and requires the use of 'gentle force' to re-insert.
To the OP, I'd try what others have mentioned before pulling stuff out of your case. Updates from Windows Update and using Hardware Manager to make sure all drivers are current is a good starting point. After that, schedule a full Disk Check upon the next startup, and then Defragment the HDD (it could just be supoer cluttered).
