Hey everyone! I was in the middle of a gaming session when my PC just turned off completely. The weird part is that my keyboard remained lit, which is powered by the PC. I tried pressing the power button, but it didn't respond. I also turned the power supply off and on, and it blinked for a split second but then went dead again.
I'm starting to suspect my graphics card could be the culprit. I received it as a birthday gift, and I remember my brother mentioning that my power supply might not be strong enough for it. I have a Radeon GPU, and while I've dealt with some flickering in the past, this shutdown was unexpected. Plus, I did notice a strange smell coming from it. Any advice would be appreciated!

It sounds like you might need to provide more details for better troubleshooting. Specifically, what are your PC specs?
Sure, here’s what I have: my GPU is a Radeon RX6600 by Asrock, and my PSU is a Trend Sonic 230V, specifically the ADK-A550W. I’m using an MSI A520M Pro motherboard with a Ryzen 5 2400G CPU and 8GB DDR4 RAM.
