As stated in the title my PC suddenly completely shuts down as if i would lose power. I am pretty sure that it is the Power supply but i wanted to ask if it even is possible for a CPU or GPU to just let the whole computer lose electricity before i buy a new PSU

      New build in the sense that you just built it, or it’s been running fine for a few weeks and just started in the last few days

        Well i did build it 4 month ago and had the problem since then but i feel like it shuts down more frequently now. Could be the summer temp? But could also just be me and i use it more often now

          And oh shit, when you say you built it yourself: Did you use the Motherboard Standoffs (if they weren’t already in place in your case)? If you didn’t use them you might get random short circuits.

          Have you actually checked that all the cables are firmly in each socket? On both sides, at the back of the PSU and on each device (Motherboard, GPU, …)?
