Hey Guys,
My PC won't boot up at all. I don't use it often, and its about 7 months old. One day I turned it on and nothing would work. The lights are on but no ones home so to speak :P The power light is on but nohing comes up on screen, no beeping, no keyboard/mouse lights etc.
It also clicks when turned on about 2 clicks then 5 second silence and then repeats itself.
Anyone have any advice for me?
BTW: It maybe under a year old but no warranty anymore as I accidentally broke the warranty seal -_-#

Thanks :)

System:
Acer Aspire M5100
AMD Phenom Quad Core
2GB RAM
250GB HDD

(All parts are stock, came with the system, never replaced anything)

If you need anymore system info I can pop the hood and take a look :)

First thing to replace is the PSU, most common cause .

The clicking could be the hard drive trying to spin up. Best thing would be trying to figure out where ti comes from.
