Good day to you all!
This morning, when I turned on my machine, I heard a crackling sound at the back of my case. It was quite audible but faded away within minutes, most likely due to some elements that finally warmed up. Same happened a while ago, when I turned it on, after I came home from work.
Now I read a thread here with similar problems and many seemed to agree that it was most likely the power supply. I did not really open my case and try to find the source of that crackling sound, but it feels like it is my power supply..
As if that is not enough, I can see that it is now 3.5 years old - well past its 3-year warranty
So what do you gather, scrap this and buy a new one, or is it still usable?
Thanks!
