Since about 2 days ago, my PC started to randomly shut down with a clicking noise (similar the noise it makes when I boot up the PC), but unlike normal crashes, it doesn't reboot instantly. When I try to turn it back on with the power button, nothing happens and the PC won't turn on, until I completely unplug it from the power source and replug it, then it would turn on when I press the power button. This crash has happened 3 times when attempting to open CSGO/Valorant whilst I also had Google Chrome opened in the background, once when only Google Chrome was opened and twice just now when I rebooted it. The last 2 times it shut down, I would see a white/grey screen with a black line going across horizontally.
Every time it has shut down randomly, the CPU audio indicator lights at the back are still on. I'm unsure if this is a motherboard, PSU, CPU or GPU issue. I'm leaning more towards the motherboard or PSU, as I feel like my PC is shutting down when there is a sudden spike of power needed for the CPU when loading stuff cause I hear the fans ramp up before it shuts down.
Are there anyways I can find out the cause or shall I just try to RMA the motherboard or PSU?
Any help is appreciated!
