| Since you tried RAM I would change power outlets and if you're plugged into a power strip, try plugging directly into the wall outlet. The audible click is pretty loud, almost like its tripping a voltage regulator in the PSU itself. Are there any loose wiring / screws in your case or near your motherboard? Something could be shorting out. |

| Hey, I've tried changing power outlet, and I was using a power strip, tried different sockets on there and also in multiple wall sockets. I replugged everything and couldn't see anything loose. Running out of things to try now lol. |

So, I am not entirely sure what is wrong. I am really only bumping because I want people to see it and help you out. But I did some google searching and found something similar to your problem, I hope this works

Hi bro, had this similar issue with a old pc i had, possibly its the CMOS battery
What's the clicking coming from? Are you using stand-off screws for the motherboard? |

^ that's actually not a bad shout. That's what I would do personally.
So heres the step by step process of what I would do if I was in your shoes. Completely disassemble the PC, remove all hardware from the case. Remove everything that's in the motherboard, PSU and start afresh like you've got bought the hardware. Find a table for you to work on / a flat surface. Grab your motherboard box, put your motherboard on top of the box. This will be your case for now. Install the CPU & cooler as you normally would. Same with RAM. Plug in the 24 pin, 4 / 8 pin CPU from the powersupply to your motherboard. Ignore the GPU, & We don't need that to be working currently. Find the pins on the motherboard that go to the front IO which goes to the power button. Use a screwdriver to short these pins to turn on the PC. Should the PSU tick, you have issues. Should it tick - purchase new PSU and see if that helps. Troubleshooting hardware is tough and it always helps if you have known working hardware around you that you can test with to rule out any failed parts. Now, should the PSU not tick and the CPU fan spins then 3-5 seconds later, turns off, then you've solved your issue. You can then put everything back into the case. I'd plug your GPU and storage into your motherboard whilst it's out just to make sure it boots though before you put it back into the case. |

What do you mean when you say "the pins on the MB that go to the front IO to the power button"? Sorry if I sound clueless lol. EDIT: ignore that, I watched a YouTube video. |

| Just wondered, even if I do reassemble everything and short the pins and it still doesn't work, would that necessarily mean it's the PSU at fault? Or can it still be a motherboard problem? |
