This morning I saw my PC shut down after putting it to sleep last night. When I turned it back on, it performed an unusual power reset when trying to boot, but doesn’t respond properly. About a tenth of the time it reaches the login screen before the power is cut off and repeats the same issue. Most of the time, my RAM isn’t lighting up at all. Anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

It seems the power supply unit might be the problem. Motherboard could also be involved, but check the PSU first. Also, if the front fans are drawing air through the radiator, your CPU heat might be affecting the GPU negatively. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr70VyoACPg Updated August 30, 2022 by An0maly_76 Additional details
