My previous PC experienced similar issues near the end of its life, which were fixed by replacing the power supply unit. The old PSU was no longer covered by warranty, but I wanted to verify my concerns. If others confirm it's a PSU issue, I'll reach out to the manufacturer quietly, as I still believe it should be under warranty. Problem summary: Over the past few days, my PC has randomly shut down, especially during higher load situations like playing games (mainly Genshin Impact or Overwatch) alongside other apps. After shutdowns, it fails to boot properly—sometimes briefly, sometimes not at all. Fans spin but nothing displays on the screen until I press the power button again. The issue began after a recent heatwave in southern Germany, though my temperatures never reached 75°C. I suspect it might be linked to heavy thunderstorms, but I’m unsure. Hardware: PSU: be quiet! CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 with Coolermaster Hyper Evo GPU: Nvidia RTX 2060 (6GB), RAM: 2 x 8GB, Storage: SATA HDD, SSD, M2 SSD. Need any additional details. Based on the power calculator, this PSU should handle the load and even appears in recommended settings. If you have other suggestions besides contacting the manufacturer, let me know.

My initial suspicion was a bad motherboard. I’ve dealt with a comparable problem before that resolved with a different board. For testing, execute cinebench r23. If the high CPU demand triggers a crash, it suggests the power delivery isn’t functioning properly. Once confirmed, run FurMark to apply a full GPU workload. If successful, proceed with both tests concurrently to evaluate your PSU.

I executed cinebench r23 on a 64-bit Windows system without issues, achieving peak temps near 69°C. The furmark 1080p preset also performed well, reaching about 71°C. When both were run together, temperatures rose to around 74°C for the CPU and 78°C for the GPU. During the test, I repeated the furmark preset twice until cinebench finished, which still resulted in high readings. According to HWMonitor, power consumption was roughly 75W and 160W, matching expected TDP values. It seems the crash might have been caused by the combined workload from the GPU, CPU, and less demanding components.
