I'm dealing with an issue on my PC that seems linked to the power supply unit. When I power it off and turn it back on, it briefly powers up before shutting down again. Pressing the power button doesn't get it going, and even after removing the power cable from the PSU and waiting several minutes, it doesn't start. After dismantling parts and trying basic connections, the problem persists—only the motherboard and processor cables work. Interestingly, when I restart everything and run demanding tasks like games or video editing, it functions normally. Note: I have a 600VA UPS and experience power outages lasting an hour daily. My PSU is a 750W cooler master semi-modular 80 Plus Gold model, five years old. Could this be related to the PSU or another factor?
