Well my 5400 did that...nasty old thing... erm I really couldn't figure out what was wrong, it's probably serious enough to render the computer useless, even after about 3 hours of poking around with its internals the problem didn't present itself to me- that thing's parked in a nice spot at the local dump now.
yup- I've kept my 6300 longer than a 5400.

I have a 5500 psu just sitting here and i tried it out. I found that a lose wircauses it to sometimes click. you would have to open the vase and find a white wire with 4 pins that goes to the psu and make sure it is connected. Otherwise my second guess is one of the capacitors.
soory i had a few typos i meant wire causes instead of wircauses and case instead of vase
