Hello everyone, my power supply, which is a Logisis, (not very reliable brand, I know) had just started clicking recently. What happens when I power up the PC is the PSU begins to click, the Bios boots, and windows begins to load, sometimes, the PC shuts off there and restarts because ASUS antisurge restarted the PC. Sometimes, I get into windows, log in, and then the PC shuts off shortly after for the same reason. When I check the power supply, it is very hot for a second before it cools down. I don't know what is happening, I assume it's a PSU problem and I'm gonna need to get a new one, but I wanted to make sure. Please get back to me quickly!

Okay, another detail, turned it on, just started clicking like crazy and smoking, so I'm 100% sure it's a power supply issue, so I'm going to get a new PSU, any recommendations?
