Hello.
I’m facing a quite unusual issue with my PC. A few days ago, Windows 11 would suddenly stop and display a circle with the text "shutting down." It didn’t lose power completely. I checked the PSU and ruled it out as the cause.

The shutdown happens irregularly—sometimes it works for 5 to 15 minutes or 1 to 2 hours, then it shuts down again. When I try to restart it, it powers back on normally, but if I leave it on, it turns on after some time, even during sleep.

What might be causing this strange behavior? Any suggestions?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!
Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
In the interim period, I would advise on doing a scan of your system using malwarebytes and see if anything comes up.
