Without many additional components nearby, it can be difficult to identify which part is faulty.
The situation really depends on what you mean—it was running for four months. It could simply be the last time power was cut, regardless of the reason.
In data centers, they usually kept spare servers, switches, or routers available during scheduled outages.
Even when everything seemed fine after shutting down a rack, something would fail to reboot.
Modern power supplies include many protection circuits.
Power problems usually harm the power supply or its safeguards. A strong event like a lightning strike is often what causes damage.
It’s unclear what to recommend.
There are three main possibilities: the CPU, memory, or motherboard, and it’s hard to predict which one is affected.
The machine’s age matters. You might want to invest in newer technology instead.
You could consider replacing the CPU and motherboard, and if your current memory is DDR5, try installing that on a new system before buying more.
Alternatively, you could buy memory first, as it’s the least expensive option.
I’m not sure I’d choose this route if the memory were DDR4, since most systems now use DDR5.
I purchased new RAM today without any changes.
Yesterday I borrowed a PSU, and there were no modifications.
For the response:
the CPU, MB, RAM & PSU are 4 months old.
The motherboard and CPU should probably be covered under warranty. It will still be difficult because they insist on sending the devices, and you won’t have access to the computer while they examine it. Of course, they will do their best to locate any fault that could be user-related.
