I've been having some strange issues with my power supply.
The problems started a month or two ago when i noticed a clicking/ticking sound coming from the psu while powered on. They would occur consistently over a period of time but would stop after a while, maybe when the computer was warmed up? This hasn't had much of an effect on me (other than being annoying) but I would figure I would mention it.
Here's the real problem. The computer shuts down and powers up normally, but if I flip the power switch on the back of the psu or disconnect power from it, then reconnect and try to turn on, I get nothing. No response at all.
But, if I wait for a few minutes, I hear a click in the psu. After that, everything is fine again. It's as if it has to charge up a capacitor or something before the computer will start.
Can anyone explain this strange behavior? Should I try to get it replaced?
