PSU help plz

[bondboy]

Using a Coolermaster eXtreme Power 500W for about a year now with no real problems until recently.

I noticed a noise like the fan is hitting something. Opened up the case and saw the PSU fan spinning up then stopping, then spinning up, then stopping... rinse and repeat every few seconds. The noise was the result of the constant spinning up & down.

Is this normal or my PSU about to die? TIA
