Hey all,

I have been running an AMD Radeon 6850 for a couple years now. Recently I started hearing a clicking noise coming from within. I also started having an issue where the monitor would display a gray/white screen as it was restarted/turned on, even from simple hibernation/sleep. I cleaned it out after a few days of clicking coming on/off at random. After cleaning, no change it seemed, computer worked pretty much as normal.

Few days ago, my computer stopped turning on completely. Everything but the video card fan starts up. If left running, the PSU(I only found out today where the cracking was originating from) starts making a cracking sound on/off.

Any idea what's up? Any help will be much appreciated.
