>Why is the PS fan cutting out and should it run continuous under no load?
Yes it should be running all the time. Fans are a common cause of problems.
Probably a heavy build up of dust - so try cleaning this off/out with say
cotton buds and vacuum cleaner.
If a PSU fails on a desktop computer its not much of deal as not costly - might
even get one off another machine at a council recycling centre. At the
Christchurch one they actively seek to sell the stuff to anyone who wants it.
