Recently I'm experiencing a strange problem , I hear clicking sounds 2-3 times when my pc is running (the similar noise is produced after computer shutdown) and then my system freezes up , cpu & psu fans go wild and nothing works except the mouse pointer , shutdown button does not work and I manually have to turn off the power. The same problem also happened 6 months before and after a few days I found my PSU dead. I changed the PSU and it is happening again now.

I'm desperate for a solution ..... :pfff: :pfff: :pfff:

Intel Pentium D 2.8ghz
