My computer stopped working suddenly. It was still on with the keyboard lights lit. The monitor went dark instantly, and the sound cut off. I turned off the power supply but when I tried to restart it again, the PC turned on but wouldn’t post, and the keyboard stopped lighting up. I repeated this several times; once it managed to boot after a few minutes. Then I shut it down to check if it was a one-time issue, but it didn’t work again. So I removed the power cable from the PSU and waited an hour before trying it again—it functioned perfectly afterward. However, last night I went to sleep and tried to turn it on this morning, and the same problem occurred. The PC is powered on, but the LEDs, fans, and peripherals don’t light up properly when it starts.

I would initially think it might be the power supply. Try to get another one for checking.
