Here’s a revised version of your text:

To note, this is my initial post and I just signed up recently, so there might be a mismatch in the category. I may have entered it incorrectly. My system is quite basic, so I play games that don’t need a powerful computer, and I’m not concerned about its appearance. I was just playing a game I’ve used many times before while listening to Spotify. Suddenly, the whole PC shut down—never before has this happened. The monitor and speakers also turned off. After about half a second or a second, everything came back on, and my PC started booting up. I was surprised at the moment. I checked other areas of my house to see if there was a power outage, which usually occurs once a year at most. But this wasn’t the case. Everything else worked normally. After the PC booted, I waited half an hour just in case something came up again, and let it rest for a while. Nothing appeared, and the system seems to be functioning properly.

My question is: could this be due to the PC itself or the power outlet? Or something else? This has never happened before. Normal power outages last around 30 minutes, but this lasted less than a second and only affected my PC, monitor, and possibly the Wi-Fi router. I can’t confirm if the router restarted either because I didn’t check quickly enough. I saw a strange icon on my phone with a Wi-Fi symbol, but it disappeared a few seconds after I picked it up—about 30 seconds after the outage. It might have been the router booting up and removing the notification. I haven’t played any games yet, and I’m writing this between 10 to 15 minutes after the incident. I haven’t installed any new software or updates recently; I only updated my NVIDIA drivers a couple of days ago, which probably wouldn’t cause a total power cut. If you need diagnostic files or system details, feel free to ask.
