So just recently my power supply that l had for a year and a half ran fine until l shut it down for later use.

 

When i tried to turn it back on it nothing happen (i knew all the wires where installed correctly)

l left the power button at the back off than came back in an hour and turned the switch back on and my pc ran fine.

 

Is this powersupply still safe to use

 

PSU: Widetech 650w

It's probably best if you went for a better psu. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

You shouldn't take any risks and upgrade/replace the PSU. Try going for something with more wattage. That might be the problem but I don't know how much you need to run your system.

It's actually just a el cheapo psu from no name brand , probably can't even put out 450w

I'd replace that as soon as you can. Not worth risking more expensive hardware when you can get a reliable psu for pocket change.
