Okay so I left my old faithful pc in my mom's care when I left fool school this fall. After years of faithful, stable service it suddenly started having magical problems. First it stopped turning off properly, and would only turn off by cutting the power (turning off the PSU from the button on the back - my mom reported this while I was gone.) Then it would turn on but would no recognize that a keyboard was connected, and so would not boot into windows. Now it just endlessly reboots whenever the power switch on the PSU is set to "on." It makes a clicking noise every few seconds and the fans restart. I have checked the power connections on the mobo, and all seem to be set. Did my PSU just die? This makes no sense to me, as it seems to have happened without any tinkering on the inside
