So i was playing a game called Path of Exile the other day which is pretty hardcore for my computer. Suddenly my monitors just showed some stripes and my headset mouse and keyboard didnt work any longer, couldnt hear any sound from teamspeak nor the game. So i attempted this a few times more but it just happened again and again. Last time it didnt work any longer no matter how many times i turned it off and on. So i went and got a new GPU which im sure many of you will think was a mistake. As you can guess, that wasnt the problem. I tried swapping around my RAM, plugging my power cable in another output, switching monitors, and running without GPU (which works fine). Only thing that i could think of is that my PSU is`nt able to power up all the components of my computer but my electrician uncle was convinced that that was`nt the problem. None of my friends wants to lend me their PSU since i pretty much learned what all of these things even do the last 2 days so i cant really blame them.Please help! :))
 
Solution
If a new video card did not fix things, it's probably a bad power supply or possibly motherboard issue. What is the power supply brand and model? Try checking for a newer BIOS for the motherboard and reset the BIOS to defaults.

The power supply says TX 750, its 5 years old so i guess it could be any of those. Do you have any tips as of what kind of PSU i should get if im gonna get a new one?
