I have been using the chieftec eco 700s for gaming for over a year without any problems. I was on vacation when my PC started behaving strangely. It went off power for seven days, and when I turned it back on, Firefox and Steam became very slow, eventually causing a BSOD. This issue happened twice. Once idle it worked fine. The event viewer showed kernel 45 (63). Due to this, my system seems completely corrupted, and I’m unsure if I can fix it. I’m considering replacing the power supply and would appreciate your advice and any help with the problem. My specs are: RTX 3070 SUPREME, i5-12500, two HDDs, one SSD, one NVMe drive. I have a Gigabyte Aorus Rev1 and a budget of around 100 euros. I can’t find American brands like Corsair here.

This occurrence takes place after an unexpected restart, which doesn't always indicate the PSU is faulty. A BSOD is considered an unexpected restart event.
