Click, reset or garbled screen

Hi,
My computer constantly resets in the DOS startup. It makes a loud audible "click" then either resets or the screen garbles up with ANSI symbols and colors. The keyboard also becomes unusable after one of these resets. Eventually it makes it all the way through to Windows without resetting and is fairly stable. However, sometimes I'll hear that click again and Windows will become garbled, the whole screen fills with interlaced vertical lines and I can barely see where I'm moving the mouse. Othertimes it'll be in Windows and "click" and just shut down, or reset.
Any ideas what this may be? Anyone had a problem like this before?
