Is my PSU broken?

[Stockfish 16]

Recently, I have been encountering issues where my computer randomly turns off without warning. I suspected this was due to overheating so I replaced my cpu cooler but the issue still occurs. I also recently installed an rtx 4060ti but my power supply should be more than capable to withstand the requirements for my gpu and cpu. I have tried many methods software based but none seem to work so I have now speculated it is hardware related. The reason I come to this conclusion is because it can't be my temps as both my cpu and gpu stay around 50-60°C. Could a faulty power supply be the problem or is it a different issue?

I checked but there's no label on it and now whenever my pc turns off I have to press the power button multiple times and the fans spin only a little bit

It's a little bit old but this is it.

I had to take it our of my computer because the brand name wasn't visible

That's a very bad PSU. Old group regulated platform, 2 fake 12v rails and missing essential protection features. You have to replace it for a much better unit.

Thanks for letting me know. Do you know any fairly decent PSU's that I can get for relatively cheap. Money is tight right now and I can't afford to spend a fortune on a new power supply. Thanks!

Yeah well I'm trying to get the most expensive stuff out of the way first and I just need a power supply that will last until I can upgrade again
