[SOLVED] Is my Power Supply failing?

[stix45]

Recently through the last two months i have been noticing some trends among my computer that have me thinking my power supply's lifespan is near.

So about three months ago, i started noticing my GPU flash a white led whenever i restart my computer. Afterwards starting around June, i started noticing that whenever i play a game or application on my SSD for about 40-45 mins, my SSD randomly disconnects until i re-plug it in the case again.

Then today, while playing a few games, my computer froze for a solid 5-7 seconds and restarted without any blue screen or indicator that it would be doing this with my permission.

Could this be a power supply issue? I have had this power supply for 4 years and the rest of the parts on my computer are relatively new with most of them being bought last year or in 2018.

My Specs:
OS: Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Motherboard: MSI X370 SLI PLUS
GPU: AORUS RX 580
CPU: Ryzen 7 1700
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16 GB 3000MHz (2x8GB)
PSU: Raidmax Thunder V2 735 80 Plus Bronze (RX-735AP)
HDD: Toshiba DT01ACA100 1 TB
SSD: Samsung 860 EVO 500GB

Honestly, it's VERY surprising that your PSU lasted four years, and you didn't have any problems previously. Or you might have and just didn't realize it.

It's an extremely poor quality unit and it's highly likely that your problems stem directly from the power supply. Obviously, anything is possible so it could always be something else, but the PSU and motherboard are the only two things that are pretty much common to all of the systems you've expressed having problems with, so I'd start with the PSU especially since it's a highly likely suspect to begin with.
