Hi, Recently i have noticed my computer making alot of noise. Before i could barely hear it, at first i wasn't sure what the problem was until i came to the conclusion it was my PSU. But the odd thing is, it only sometimes make's noise. It will make a grinding sound, but sometimes after restarting my computer, it goes away. So i'm not entirely sure if the Power Supply needs to be replaced, I only want to replace it if it's broke. I will try to provide as much information as possible if needed.
I should mention, i had no problem with this setup for 2 years now.
Here are my specs.
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600 CPU Quad-Core @ 3.40GHz
Motherboard: XPS 8300
PSU: 460w XPS 8300 Dell Stock Power Supply
