This is the first time I post stuff here and I'm not sure if I'm I the right place or not.

My computer shut down suddenly. When I try to turn it back on, the lights on the power button was on and the fan was spinning for a few seconds and then everything stopped. After that, the computer itself tried to turn on again and it all stopped after a few seconds again.

It kept repeating unit I turn off the switch on the back of my computer.

It feels like there is not enough power to turn on the computer. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

P.S. The display card is rather new (GTX 750)
Just added another ram about a week ago

Sorry for my poor English.

It's actually good you don't see a physical PSU issue, that could mean lots of damage. That said, a bad PSU can still cause damage without visible signs.

See if you can borrow a PSU to test your system. I do think that is your issue, and if/when you have to replace it, make sure you get a quality PSU.

Have you tried to check the inside of your computer? A problem in the power supply maybe? or maybe trying your computer using a different power source? (move your computer and try using other power sockets)

What should I expect if I open the case? It looks pretty normal to me.

Thanks

Try using a different power socket. If it does not work, i advice changing the power supply.

It isn't the sockets problem. And everything is seating well.

Is there any visible problem if the psu is the problem?

Sorry for asking so many question
