At first, the PC build was working okay.

Then this morning, I was running Photoshop and Gigapixel AI and the tower shut down suddenly. It refuses to power up now.

I was restoring an old photo (jpg) with PhotoShop (CC Latest Version) and Gigapixel AI. I made adjustments in GP AI and clicked "Process."
I had done this a couple of times this morning.

But this time it started, stalled, and the PC shut down. It was as if I had hard shutdown with the power button.

I also had Chrome open.
I have three monitors connected I have a USB 3 dock connected which runs one of the monitors

To fix, I have tried:

  • unplugging all of the USBs except the mouse and keyboard
  • disconnected all of the monitors except one (DVI)
  • turn the power switch on the power supply to off and unplug it for about 20 minutes, plugged it back in, and tried to power it up to no avail.

Did I blow-out the power supply because it was too much of a draw on the PSU?

You might want to borrow a reliably build PSU that has at least 650W of power at your entire system's disposal(with all the necessary connectors) from a friend or neighbor and see if the issue is averted.

More like the PSU gave out. If the borrowed PSU doesn't revive the system, then it's possible that the motherboard gave up.
