Problem:
I start up my computer, and I’m on it for maybe 3 minutes then it shuts down but my keyboard plugged in is still lit up until I turn the PSU switch off. I’m not sure if it’s because my PSU is weak or damaged.

Once it shuts off, I try pressing the case power button but nothing happens until I turn the back switch off then on again, then I can press the power button but the same shutting down happens again.

**Thats the only time it started back up, but right after it did t shut down again. Every time it shuts off it stays shut off.

Thinks I’ve tried:
- Removing ram/seeing if one of the sticks was faulty
- Unplugging the case power button switch connectors from the motherboard (started it with a screw driver, it worked for like 5 hours, put it in sleep mode over night, woke up and after about 5min it shut down on me again).
- Monitoring GPU and CPU (temps/fans are fine and all fans are working even PSU)

Solution
Replace the PSU.

Having to flick the switch off and back on means it went into protect mode saving your parts. There is a problem with it, that's why it went into protect mode.
