Hi,
I'm having this loud noise when starting from cold boot. I manage to pin down the problem with the psu.
What I normally do is shut down the computer and start it back up and the noise does not show up again. Sometimes if i'm lazy or need the computer right away, I just let it sit for a minute and the noise subsides to normal.
The PSU is more than 5 years old. Is it time to get a new one (stupid question given the situation) or is there something I can do to save it?
P.S. I'm trying to save if I can due to financial reasons and i'm living in a third world country so getting a good pc part is very costly.
