My friend was playing starwars battlefront 2 and out of nothing , while in a fight his pc closed . After about 5 seconds his PC turned back on , nothing formatted , nothing wrong , he thinks that his PSU might be faulty but he is not sure and that's why I made this threat.
 
Solution
PSU: Tacens Mars Gaming MPII550 550W
Yeah, that's one of the PSUs that are to be avoided at all costs...
TIER E - POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS IN MULTIPLE SCENARIOS according to the Tier list .
It's not a real 550W unit either. It's only 408W actually WHEN it can output them and take it with a grain of salt.

Your friend needs to recycle that "disaster waiting to happen" PSU and buy a quality one. It's not meant powering a gaming PC, not even office PCs. From the Tier list I linked, a Tier B and above or a Tier C if he is on a VERY strict budget.
