Been having problems booting my computer lately.

Keep restarting when trying to boot normally or into safe mode.

I put the Windows CD in order to attempt a reformat but it hangs when trying to boot from CD, makes this weird clicking sound, and the fan (unsure if power supply or CPU fan) shuts down (sounds like a jet engine shutting down).

Then it just sits there.

Not good. Any particular thoughts?

I would suggest you look at the psu fan and see if it spins - same for the cpu fan - is either stopped or dust choked?
