    Cool

    hehehe....
    why do i hear my psu switching on and off?
    like, i'm just sitting here f00kin around on the web, or whatever,
    and i hear it switch on and off, but the pc keeps goin....
    no shutdown or anything, i just hear that switch....
    like the sound it makes when i shut down the pc...

    is it possessed?

    so, why's it do that?
    I am just a worthless liar. I am just an imbecile.
    I will only complicate you. Trust in me and fall as well.
    I will find a center in you. I will chew it up and leave.
    I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down.

    Maybe a fan or your hard disk is making noise?

    I also get quite a loud clicking noise every now and then???
    Weird, never have managed to work out what it is?
    I don't think it's my hard drive.

    nah...
    its the switching sound you hear when you shut down, completely,
    when everything finally powers down and then you hear your PSU click off
    thats the sound its makin (not all the time, just evey once in a while)

    damn i wish i had a mic, i would record it

    Apart from the fan stopping (which would be an absence of noise), the PSU does not make any noise when it shuts down. On the other hand, as indicated by VB, the HD most certainly does make a noise as it brakes the disk when shutting down.
    .
    Political correctness is based on the principle that it's possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

    i always thought that was the power supply shutting down,
