Hi, so a few weeks ago my PSU burnt out whilst i was using my pc, i knew immediately what had happened as it produced a horrible burning smell. I bought and replaced the psu, turned my pc on to hear a constant clicking noise, from which i thought was coming from the HDD.
The noise is coming from the front of the pc but i cant exactly pin point where, but stupidly i bought another HDD. Whilst waiting for this to arrive, yesterday my pc randomly just restarted, after a few minutes it restarted again but this time nothing happened as it wouldnt boot. The psu fan was spinning but nothing else and the screen remained blank. Thinking that my HDD must of gone i opened the case and unplugged it, tried it again but the same thing happened, but no clicking noise.
Fiddled around with the 4 pin thing on the motherboard and also the connector from the fan to the motherboard, both seemed fine, tried it again at it loaded up! But the clicking noise is still there with the HDD removed.
I cant figure out what the clicking noise and also why my pc restarted and wouldnt boot. is my motherboard fried as well?
I am on AMD Phenom ii x4 920 processor
running windows 7 64bit
corsair cx420 psu
Nvidia Geforce 9800 GTX+
