I bought a prebuilt PC a few years ago and haven't built one myself. Besides replacing a dead HDD, I have no experience with this. Lately, my PC has been shutting off completely without any warning. I've experienced some blue screens, but I know the causes for those. I'm wondering if this shutdown issue could be something simple like my power supply, or if it might require replacing multiple components. Can anyone suggest where I should start looking for the problem?

It sounds like your power supply might be the culprit if your PC is just turning off like that. It's not uncommon for those to fail or have issues when they start to wear out. I'd suggest checking the connections and possibly testing with a new power supply if you can. That could be a pretty straightforward fix!
Yeah, it definitely points to the power supply. Pay attention to when it shuts down—does it happen during any specific tasks or just randomly? If you notice it's happening more when you're running software, it could be that your PSU is struggling under load. Also, check if there’s any dust buildup in your case that might be causing overheating.
