Last night, Was playing warthunder- pc suddenly shuts down like you have unplugged the power cord no pops or bangs nothing . but the power led (white) was still up on the gpu, I shut off the switch and came back like after 10 mins turned the switch back on gpu showed the white led, but when I tried to boot it nothing happened.

No case fans or cpu fan turned on just the ram RGB turned on (which I had turned off) and gpu white led.

My specs 2020 build
CPU - Ryzen 5 3600
GPU - Asus RX 570 OC 8GB
Mobo - gigabyte b450m (wifi one)
RAM - 2 x 8GB 3000
PSU - ant e sport vs600L (I had a corsair 500 something before it gave its life during a thunderstorm)


-I gave it a clean afterwards hoping something would happen but no
- nothing smells burnt or no funny smell atleast to my nose, nothing seems to be damaged atleast visibility wise.
- now the ram RGB turns on 2 or 3 secs after I turn on the switch, whereas before it would only turn on when I pressed the boot button. I'm [bad language removed] bricks here would like to hear your guy's thoughts
Is the psu gone or maybe the cpu PLZZ help

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

Psu - ant e sport vs600L
The PSU you have is actually a horrible unit. You should source(borrow, not buy) a reliably built 650W unit and see if the issue persists.

Next logical step is to check PSU or replace with known good and compatible one. Those lights you refer to don't matter, PSU has many sections and voltages and any of those can cause such problems.
