Hi guys, first of all I would like to say that I have some knowledge of computers but I do not know the advanced stuff.
In the last couple of days I have noticed that my computer has been making an odd crackling/clicking sound on startup. I have tried to track the noise and I believe it is either coming from my power supply or my graphics card (possibly a nearby fan). It is irritating and very noticeable and I don't want it causing further damage.
It always happens on startup and I have also noticed it on some occasions randomly occurring (for about 5 mins each time) when browsing the web or playing some games.
By the way I have had my PC for about a year now (I bought it from here but have forgotten my account details that I bought it on) and have never heard this noise before and it is happening regularly.
Thanks in advance, Joe.
