I'm having a really frustrating issue with my PC. After booting up, all the Q-LEDs flash for a few seconds, but none stay lit. My PC seems to run fine for a while but then suddenly cuts out, leading to a black screen crash. I've gone through a lot trying to fix this—I've reseated all components, tried different RAM and GPU, replaced my motherboard entirely, performed a full Windows reset, updated the BIOS, and applied all available updates. Despite all this, software keeps telling me my hardware is fine. However, the black screen crashes continue whenever I try to do more than just open basic Windows programs. Any suggestions would be really appreciated!

Sounds like you might have a power supply issue. What you described resembles a breaker tripping in your PSU, which would cause your system to reset. It could be worth checking to see if your PSU is functioning properly or if it's possibly too underpowered or faulty for your hardware setup.
I've got an 800W IBP gold standard PSU, so I thought it should handle it. But maybe there's a deeper issue!
