Hello everyone,

So about 7 months ago after consulting on Tom's hardware, I built myself a new PC. It is great, it runs perfectly and I have had no problems with it whatsoever. Recently, when I tried to turn it on, it didn't post. I didn't think much of it, turned it off and back on again and it booted fine. A few weeks later (today) I was using my PC, had stepped away for like 15 minutes and I came back to the BIOS screen. I quit without saving and the PC could not post. It posts only when I turn it off and back on again, the reset switch seems to reset the PC, but it still does not post. Also, I have noticed that when the PC does not post, the SSD light is blinking in a rhythm. This has happened 2 times in total now, so I am getting a bit worried.

I was wondering if maybe there is a way to check BIOS event logs or something that would help me diagnose this issue, as I feel like it could be anything.

Specs are:
MOBO: GIGABYTE B660M GAMING X DDR4
CPU: i5-13400F
RAM: 2x16GB KINGSTON FURY RENEGADE @3200Mhz
SSD: GIGABYTE M30 512GB M.2 + 256 SATA SSD.
PSU: EVGA 650 BQ

As always, thank you guys!

I would look into purchasing a decent power supply.

Is there a way to test if my PSU is faulty/could be causing the issue?

I have a GTX 1050Ti. I know its old, I'm thinking of upgrading soon, but for now it works perfectly fine.
Here is my Crystal Disk Mark and Info:
