There is a problem with the computer starting up. I keeps making a clicking noise and I get no picture on the screen. The lights on the front of the computer are a orange color. I had thought it was the hard drive so I replaced it today. The computer start up fine,but when It was in the process of formatting the hard drive it shut down. Also when you turn the computer on it does not want to shut off on the front. I have had to turn it off on the back. I am beginning to think that It might be the power supply. It is using an antec 350W power output. Do you think that I might need to replace the power supply?

Thanks
