Power off at random

[Noob365]

My build:

intel 4790K

MSI gaming 5 z97 motherboard

gigabyte windforce 970 nvidia gpu

RM600 psu (600w)

h100i liquid coller

ddr3 16GB ram

running windows 10

 

My pc switches off at random, even when there's not much load.

Here, by switches off, I do not mean like a total shutdown.

The led on cpu cooler is on, led on the motherboard is on, and all the fans are on except for the one facing rear (for which the power cable is connected on the motherboard, I've connected other fans directly to psu).

The keyboard, mouse and monitor are in off condition.

 

Recently I am not able to even switch on my pc.

when i try to switch on, the above-explained scenario occurs.

But when I toggle the power switch behind the psu a couple of times, it starts by luck.

 

I initially thought that there was a voltage problem and changed my ups but the problem persists.

There seems to be no temperature issue.

I also tried removing GPU all-together but still not fixed.

(note: I did not overclock any component)

 

Please guide me towards a fix

regards

 

(note: please reply with added detail. Noob here).

Replace your PSU. These things have a lifespan.

if fiddling with the PSU fixes it, I'd be inclined to believe that's the issue.

Thanks guys.

Is there a possibility that mobo is at fault? I have to be certain because I'm on a tighter budget so I could afford either PSU or mobo and not both at the same time.
