Hi, I recently notice strange clicking noise coming from PSU,it clicking only when computer is on heavy load of tasks-installing games, playing games etc. Game is seziure for a second then clicking is coming and seizure is over, it last for 1 sec and it happen every couple of seconds,any idea what that might be?

When you say PSU, do you mean just the general area of the case, or specifically the Power Supply Unit?

By seizure, do you mean it locks up?

I'd be wondering about the Hard Disk Drive.

I sticked my head inside computer and I'm pretty much sure it is PSU, yes it locks up just for a second then you can hear click and it move somooth again and like that couple times per minute.I'm more than sure it is not hard disk
