Hi there,
Built my first PC about a little over a month ago, but during the process of building it I embarrassingly plugged the floppy disk molex cable from the PSU into the mobo, causing a short.
I unplugged the cable once I found out and the PC started up and worked fine, but I noticed a small humming from the PSU even when in standby. After a maybe 5 hours use I noticed the PSU started making a clicking/ticking/zapping noise, something like a bad connection between the PSU and the power lead. The noise drove me crazy, so I replaced the PSU. I thought it was fixed, but then after another few hours it came back. I replaced the PSU again and the mobo aswell. I thought the problem was fixed, but it came back again instantly with a smaller ticking noise, which I could accept, but then the louder clicks came back... The louder ticks are seemingly random and can be seconds or sometimes hours apart, but the quieter ticks are more prevalent during start-up and PC use. I feel like I'm going to buy a new HDD or RMA my CPU. My HDD is from an older PC, but my old PC never made that noise.
Im using:
CPU: AMD FX8350
Motherboard: ASUS m5a97 r2.0
Ram: 4gb Vengence Ram
PSU: Corsair CX600m
GPU: ASUS HD 7790 DirectCU II
I've seen a few questions similar to this, but the OP never posts what fixed the problem.
if anyone has ANY ideas, whats going on please let me know. I'm pulling my hair out over here
.
Thank you
