Jeff:
E-machines list of recommended upgrades on their own website is for a
higher-powered power supply.
I just burnt two, 250watt p.s. in an emachine T2341. I put a 350 watt in
and the "clicking sound" that you heard (which I also heard) was gone and
the machine has been fine since.
Underpowered power supplies seem to be an admitted flaw in emachines. I
believe that I used a power supply out of a Windows 98 machine that had had
a Duron 900mhz board in it and this again, was a 350 watt.
I'd also recommend a case fan since they also run hot.
