I think my power supply is going. It used to buzz about once every couple weeks then stop on it's own or when I shut down and restarted. Sunday it started buzzing constantly, and shut it down overnight, and when I fired it up again the buzzing started again constant. So last night I shut down again and when I started it up today no buzzing.

Should I just get a new one which I really can't afford right now or hang in there a little maybe blow some dust off the fan or something? Anyone have an opinion? Thanks!

Don't know what current PSU is in there i tried Belarc Advisor and it won't tell me. Is there another way to find out without opening machine? I buy from Microcenter.com i am looking at this one.
