I booted up my pc and had it running like normal for about 5 minutes then all of a sudden it shut off as if we had a power outage. (It was not a power outage) Now when i press the power button nothing happens no fans, no lights, no sounds, nothing.

This pc is barely 6 months old and im suspecting the psu has failed since i have removed it and it will not even power up using the paperclip test.

Im going to be testing a new psu in my rig tomorrow however im worried that there is a chance it isnt the psu and im just missing something, I hope it is the psu however because I dont want to have to replace the mobo.

If anyone could confirm or help me confirm that this is psu failure and maybe a reason as to why it could have happened so i can make sure it doesnt happen again, i would appreciate it.
