***Warning: H/W Monitor Status Abnormal *** 3.3V = 3.8-3.9

When I boot my computer up I get the following message:
***Warning: H/W Monitor Status Abnormal ***
Please enter the setup to check voltage, fan speed or temperature status.
I enter the setup and notice the only thing not normal in read. It reads:
3.3V Voltage = 3.8 (it fluctuates from 3.8-3.9)
All I know is this must not be good and I was wondering if anyone could help me fix this. Also, this may be an unrelated problem, but my computer has been making a really annoying clicking sound lately that seems to start and stop at random times throughout the day.

My computer just rebooted for no apparent reason. Here is the error log I got after I logged back in.

Clicking usually means your hard drive is about to die. The voltage is most likely a problem with your power source. You might want to test that theory with a friends PSU before your purchase a new one.

Thanks for the warning on the hard drive thing. I think I have a psu I can test out, I will let you know if that helps any. Also, is there any way to tell which hard of my hds are having problems because I cant seem to pinpoint anything by listening and looking around with the cover off.
