Clicking noise from PSU

[ShinyPikachu]

My monitor screen froze so I forced restart by holding the power button. Now when I hit the power button to turn the computer on the fans start briefly then stop and there is a clicking noise from the psu.

That is not a clicking noise that is the sound of sparks probably. Do you smell any burning? I think your PSU just killed itself.

There aren't any sparks or burning, i ran it without the cover to see if there were any and there was nothing from there. There is electricity being generated since i fused screwdriver on accident, but beyond that I am clueless.

You probably should stop using that PSU... What PSU is it exactly?

is there any chance that there is a problem with another part of the computer, for example all the fans start up except the fans in the gpu (radeon R7 370)

The CX line is a tier 4 PSU and is not recommended for ANY rig for shady workmanship and quality. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html You should really buy one from tiers 1-3. The CX line has been known to have problems such as the one you experienced because of low quality components.
