So I attached a video of my Dell XPS 420, The Old, The Myth, The Legend! My next
door neighbor gave it to me because she was going to throw it away and it was kept in a smoking
environment. I recently fixed it up (I cleaned out all the dust but apparently the ram wasnt seated
right, so that took me a month to figure out it was a beep code!) and am getting a Nvidia EVGA
750 TI SC GPU. My current PSU is at about 375 (Not Sure) but I do know that there is a funny
noise and I do not want to ruin the GPU by using a faulty PSU or any other part. I know it is a
mechanical part because a solid state device (Processor, Motherboard) wouldn't make that noise.
I do not know whether it is the PSU and if it is should I replace it or possibly clean it out. I want to
fix it soon because the GPU comes in tomorrow and I want to be able to use it. Also, sometimes it
just stops randomly. Before I was using it and accidentally hit the shut down key on my keyboard.
(I was trying to lock it) When I tried to boot it up, it got stuck in a loop! For about 1 hour I had it
unplugged and like magic, it booted into recovery. I choose the restart option and it worked.
Thanks for any and all replies in advance!
