Question Effect of a faulty PSU on my RTX 3050 or any other components ?

[wasifismn]

i just recently made a pc with RTX 3050 along with i5 12 gen and Gigabyte H610 motherboard but i have made the mistake of using a second-hand 600w PSU. I just used my pc for about 2 weeks and haven't put load on it, just used MS Word and Visual Studio Code for normal coding.

The issue i face is that 1 out of 10 times the PC does not start, it just turns on the RGB fans for a second and then turns off. Meanwhile the keyboard and mouse lights are on which means power is in the PC but it is not starting the GPU and CPU.

I guess my PSU is faulty and am going to replace it with CORSAIR 650 watt. But my concern is that the usage so far may have affected my GPU and CPU or any other component considering I haven't used it much and haven't put load on it. How can i check nothing is damaged ?

While runnning my PC the system has never crashed and never hanged till now.

CORSAIR 650 watt
Corsair is the brand of the unit while 650W is the advertised wattage of the unit. What model are you looking at from Corsair's portfolio?

As for your PSU purchase, please stop investing in second hand parts...the PSU is considered to be the heart of your system.
