PSU Problem?

I started having some clicking noises coming from the case of a system I built earlier in the year. The PSU is an Enermax 431W 1-2 years old. I have had my LCD screen go out for a sec or two and comes back on as well as the CPU fan, THermaltake connected via molex occasionally spin down and up with some movement of other molex wire connections in tower. I have 2 DVD's and 4 HD, 100,120,160,250 with 2 of them on a PCI IDE controller. Im not sure if the PSU is the problem, but would like any suggestions.
Thanks
 
That PSU sounds like plenty to run those devices if it's performing to specification. What do your voltage rails look like? When your LCD went out, did it turn off or just lose signal? If it turned off, you may have a bad power outlet. If it just lost signal, it sounds like your PSU could be faulty. Is your system stable?
 
The screen just flickered off and on for a sec or two, the green light stayed on. The system seemed stable, but had a write to disk error on one drive, but rebooted and works fine. I also completely cleaned the tower with compressed air, and rechecked all the molex connections, although I still notice the screen doing the same thing, but no clicking noises from the tower now.
