That's an Aztech, and they are known for the "flippy floppy flicker" problem developing. 

I had an SE back in 1999 or thereabouts doing the very same thing. 

it would chime and run, then all of a sudden it would cycle and chime again, then pulse chime chime chime chime chime eventually it killed the motherboard. 

This was before I really knew how to fix these things.

My clicking one is an Astec, but I also have a Sony that is ok for now. I'm minimizing use of the Astec until I get it recapped because I'd hate to do damage to it.

I found some black dots on the psu traces. It looks like one trace has been cut off. Could this be an issue?
