Robert,
Please, next post, may I suggest it be in lower case, as all upper case
is considered shouting, not to mention it is very difficult to read.
As far as your issue, it could be a CPU fan, a case fan a power supply
fan and/or a faulty power supply. Without proper testing equipment, it
would be just a shot in the dark. As far as replacing the power supply,
the wattage is dependent on what accessories are being run from the power
supply, type and how many of each. A rule of thumb many average user
desktops come with something around 300W, where many top-of-the-line
desktops and/or workstations will have a minimum 400W but I have seen
larger. Also note, many new desktops running those expensive 256MB Gamer
Video cards require not only an additional PCI slot, but a hard-drive power
connection, many requiring a minimum 300W power supply.
My suggestion - I'd go with the maximum allowed that wouldn't be
overkill for your day-to-day use.
