Hy everyone, my friend and I put toghter a PC a couple months ago and since last week I been having problems with him. Once I started the PC he makes this nois like a loud finger snap and reboots normally, this happened at least 8 times now and don't happen every day, seems like  random. I've been trying to figure out what could it be.

do you have a friend's PSU to test?

 

your system is like 300 watts, so not a big stress on a 650 watt PSU, you might want to see if there is a visible spark or flash inside the PSU when you turn it on

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

There is an inrush current relay that "clicks" when you turn on the PSU.  Is there a reason to believe that's not what the sound is?
