HWMonitor tab keeps opening after I close it.
The cpu power tab keeps opening after I close it. Power usage doesn’t seem out of the ordinary (total power at around 85-86 usage at 100% cpu usage), so I was wondering if this happens to others? I have a 1200watt EVGA gold power supply, and the cpu is an I7 - 4790k.

Is it possible my house can barely supply enough power? To the point that the cpu sometimes drops in power and then raises back up? When I turn on my PC, my house lights flicker for a second. There is no way for me to check since it updates faster than I can tab out. I do not have another monitor. The CPU power tab is the only power tab that opens.

If your electricity infrastructure is the issue you need a professional to help you out, also that person need blue prints for the layout in order to find the issue if your infrastructure need replacing, or re-routing.

Test your PC somewhere else in your home.

Are you using a power Brick/Strip/Bar? What brand, and exact model of it?

I am thinking it may have something to do with both the house's power, and the PSU itself. The PSU makes a very feint clicking sound every 8-10 seconds. I am thinking it might be too dusty (I haven't cleaned it in over a year, and originally it was sucking in air from the rug, this was before I realized I needed to elevate it) so I am going to clean it to see if it continues to make the clicking noise. I think the fan might be scraping against dust or clogging the fan.
