The power supply (PSU) feeds your entire PC. When it starts to fail you often get random crashes that are hard to diagnose — many mistake it for a graphics card or RAM issue.

Common symptoms

The PC shuts down mid-game or under GPU load but works fine for light use.

Humming, clicking or buzzing from the PSU area — especially at startup.

Blue screen or reboots with no clear software cause.
