I believe your power supply is failing.

Hello
I've observed that touching my case causes a shock, and my power supply becomes very hot after about 15 minutes of operation. Is this indicating a problem? Could a faulty power supply damage my components? Also, when I shut down the PC for a while and restart it, Windows fails to start and only shows a black screen after the welcome screen, but everything works normally once I restart again. This happens whenever I plug in and turn it back on, even after pulling the plug out and putting it back. When I play games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla or RDR2 at 60 fps, there are no issues. Does this seem serious, and is there a way to fix it?

I would begin by placing an order for a new PSU.

Is this the identical low-quality power supply you mentioned a year ago?

I purchased a cooler Master Elite V3 400W instead of opting for an i7 CPU.

Maybe it can't be fixed.

Oh lord, another cheaply made, group-regulated PSU.
You could save a lot of money and trouble -- and potentially your GPU -- by buying a decent PSU once rather than cheap PSUs over and over again.

cooler master elite v3 400w is a poor quality power supply. Consider buying a better one.

Sure, let me help you choose wisely. Since you're new to power supplies, it might be best to pick a model with clear specifications and good reviews. Would you like me to recommend a specific type based on your needs?

I don't have personal preferences, but here are some popular sites people often use to shop for PC components: Amazon, Newegg, MSI, Gigabyte, and Corsair.
