My PC recently started turning off randomly mid gaming. I suspect that my PSU is the problem but I'm not sure so I'm here to ask for a second opinion. I already checked all the connections of the cables and even checked if my power outlet was the problem and neither GPU or CPU have any problem. I'm not sure if the PSU Is at fault but it's the only thing I can think of, I hope someone can help me.

Welcome to the forum! Please list your PC specs.

Also consider checking Event viewer -> windows logs -> system. You should see some errors at the time of the shutdown

I have not found any error  message that would cause my PC to shut down so I suppose it's not a software problem or something like that and it feels like it just shuts down because it has no power when it turns off so i guess it has to be the PSU

I found a message that says "The system was shut down unexpectedly on the 01.08.2024 at 17:25:36"
