PC problems. . .

Not really FIRST related, but I could use some help anyway if anybody is willing.


System specs:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ cpu
512MB PC3200 DDR ram
Mach Speed V600DAP motherboard
Connect3d 256mb ATI Radeon 9600 video
Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM 2MBcache ATA-133 Primary HD
Western Digital 80GB Secondary HD
BenQ DW1620 DVD±RW, DVD+R DL, CD-RW Optical Drive
300Watt PSU
Windows 2000pro SP4 OS

PC has all of the newest drivers and Windows updates, except for the newest ATI video drivers which seem to make the D3D induced crashing worse. It also has the newest version of DirectX 9.0c

Problems do not lie with the PSU; as it has already been replaced once to see if it was the cause of the random crashes.


Problems:

Direct3d Applications crash, and sometimes cause the pc to reboot, at random.

PC crashes/reboots at random times.

PC makes clicking noises (possibly one of the HDs?), including when the pc reboots (not on a manual reboot, only when the PC crashes), and at random times.


Any suggestions?
