Hi there,
I was hoping somebody might be able to help me. I have recently bought components from Overclockers with a view to build a new PC.
The components i bought are as following:
Corsair Professional Series AX1200 PSU
Krypton Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked Bundle - Gigabyte
Antec 1200 Twelve Hundred (V3 with USB3.0) Ultimate Gaming Case
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium - Fatal1ty Professional Series 7.1 Sound Card.
OCZ Vertex 2E Bigfoot 240GB 3.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
(I have used a Radeon 5970 from my previous PC).
The AX1200 PSU started making crackling/popping noises after the second day. I took my PC to show somebody as I read it may be arcing out, when I turned the PC on the PSU stopped making the noises. Thinking it might be a wire making the clicking noise as the fan hits it, I took it home only to find it started making the crackling noises again. My PC doesn't seem very stable and crashes every now and then and when it loads Windows the little blue loading disc at the bottom right indicating it's connecting to a network stays there for approximately 1 minute, during this time i cannot open any software as it seems to freeze my computer up.
I have tried putting in my old PSU which doesn't make the clicking noise, but my the network icon does the same thing, my PC freezes up for a minute and has since crashed a few times.
I'm really at my wits end and any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Tom
