     Yes most definately, a bad power supply would produce the type of
symptoms you are getting. The fan in supplies is usually powered by the
supply itself, if the fan sounds slow the supply could very well be
gone. I recommend you swap the supply and see if that works. What you
describe probably means that eventually the system won't even turn on.
Good luck, TTYL
