Over the last few days i have had various problems with file corruption, files going missing. Formatted and reinstalled all software, shutdown to reconnect my usb keyboard and mouse and on reboot pc would not boot due to HDD being too corrupted. Reformatted to reinstall pc froze halfway through install reformatted again, pc again froze this time near the end of windows install. switched pc off when i restarted the pc there was a series of loud, rapid clicks from the pc i quickly turned off the power. When i switched back on there was no life at all in the damn thing. Changed the power supply the only sign of life was the cpu fan spinning other than that all signs of life are extinct even the LED on the mobo. Has anybody any idea what the clicking noises were and would the previous problems have been a symptom of a hardware failure. Is it possible that the damage is limited to PSU and mobo or is this likely to be a a total burn out.
