so, around 3 days ago, while playing roblox my PC randomly shut off. LED lights in the CPU turned off, fans turned off, nothing.

Pressing the power button would boot the system back up, but then it only worked for 15-30 minutes or so, running the game “Wuthering Waves” before shutting off again. Tried to boot once more and only did light browsing, and after 10-15 minutes, it once again shut down.

No boot-loop, just a shut down.

So since then, I’ve tried using a back-up PSU to see if the PSU was the issue, along with reseating my ram sticks, and SSD. I’ve replaced the PSU, and it seemed promising. It ran Wuthering Waves for an hour, so I shut off the PC again to plug in my 2nd SSD drive that I removed upon using the new PSU, and some case fans that were also unplugged, I plugged them back into the PSU.

After around an hour though upon booting up once more and being on a discord call with friends, it shut off on its own once more. What’s weirder is that when I try reopening it this time, the LED’s the fans only spin for around 2-3 seconds before shutting off once more. Not like with the other PSU in which it’d still let me run the system for 10-15 minutes.

I’ve since removed the 2nd SSD, the case fans, and after around 5-10 minutes, it once again shut down. Trying to boot it back up would only turn it on for 2-3s, not even booting into windows before turning off again.

I’m genuinely lost. What could be the problem? i’m not really in the financial situation right now to get this into a local repair shop either, i’m just hoping for a savior here atp 💔

so, just this morning i went to open my pc, it booted as normal — got to the lock screen of my system. I went to plug in my second monitor on the wall outlet, and as I did, my phone fell, when I picked my phone back up I heard a USB disconnect sound on my headphones, and when I glanced back at my system it was no longer on. CPU fans/lights were off. Tried turning it back on, and the CPU fans/lights do kick on, but the display doesn’t display anything. After seeing this, I tried to force the system back off by holding the boot button, to which the system didn’t even turn off anymore; the CPU lights and fans would remain on until I unplugged it.

It was working just fine last night.

I’ve tried reseating my RAM sticks (though i’m almost sure this isn’t the problem), but I made sure not to mess around with the wires inside too much as to not make it worse.

What could have happened/what can I do to fix it? I’m really hoping me plugging in that second monitor didn’t cause a short circuit that fried my motherboard/graphics card.

Thanks in advance!
