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

    I had an old pc behaving like this. It would just shut down whenever, randomly: 5 seconds after the first beep when the pc turns on, while windows was loading, after the login, while playing, while doing nothing, literally it could happen whenever. Tried everything i could, software wise but without any avail. I had some spare parts so I changed ram, psu, removed gpu, put new hard disk: nothing worked. Moral of the story? It was the motherboard. Changed only the motherboard and the pc works just fine… 🤷🏼‍♂️ so it could also be a problem with the motherboard. If you can, be more specific in saying when those shuts down happen or if you can reproduce them, it could help you a lot. Ps it could be the RAM as well, try using one stick at once (if you have more than one stick) and check if it still happens(try another stick if it still happens until it does not anymore)
