Hello everyone, I just came back from vacation for a week and my computer just wont start anymore and the PSU makes this weird clicking noise. I've been hearing it for a month now but then my computer started without any issue. Is there any way to fix this or am I bound to buying another PSU ?
 
Please list your FULL hardware specifications including CPU, motherboard, memory kit, storage devices (Drives), graphics card and any external USB devices that might be connected.

Also, it is VERY much frowned upon to create multiple threads addressing the same issues, on this forum.
 
Do the clicks come from that speaker?

Look at Page 16 in the motherboard's User Manul.

How many wires (colors) go to that speaker? What does its' end connector look like?

First thought: disconnect the speaker from F_Panel. Do the clicks stop?

.
Yeah I tried that just after and nah nothing wrong with it I disconnected it and the motherboard is still clicking
 
Use the cardboard tube again to carefully listen around the motherboard to discover the location of the click.

Hold one end of the tube to your ear and aim the other end into the case and motherboard. Move the case end carefully and slowly to avoid hitting or touching any components.

If there are areas where use of the cardboard tube is restricted then, with the computer off and unplugged, gently rearrange cables to gain more or closer access.

Then power up again and listen.

And indeed, do list full specs per @Darkbreeze.
 
Sorry for the wait I had stuff going on for the past few weeks and sorry for making multiple post I didn't know this was an Issue.

My full specs are:
- CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x
- GPU: RTX 2060
- Motherboard : Gygabyte B450M DS3H
- RAM: 2 x 8Go T-FORCE DDR4
- Storage: 2 Seagate Barracuda (1To) & Kingston SSD (250Go)
- PSU: MSI MPG A750GF

I solved the clicking noise it was coming from the speaker I talked about earlier (even though I unplugged it and there was still sound the last time I tried) so the sound problem is fixed however the lights of the motherboard still flicker indicating that it's still turning on and off infinitely. I have no idea where that could come from
