Cable Forum - View Single Post - Click noise and then resets. Whats going wrong ?

Ok can anyone help me with this.
For the past week my PC has been restarting randomely.
Unlike other resets, here there is a click noise, as if someone flicked a switch, everything goes black, and the PC reboots.

Its been hot a few weeks ago but it certainly not hot now so I doubt heat has anything to do with it.
The click also seems to come from the case, not from the hard drive, though I'm not too sure. Its a bizarre click that I've never heard before.

Sometimes it does the click noise and does not reset whilst other times it restarts.

The system (Win98SE, 248mb ram, AMD processor) has had nothing touched or removed from it and everything is firmly connected to where it was.

So, does anyone know wha could be the problem ?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Tim.
