Last night I was playing Street Fighter 6 the whole night, then went to sleep and let my computer go into sleep mode (I usually leave it on, never turn it off as I'm using it all the time).
I saw it go to sleep as normal, but when I woke up this morning to turn on my PC, it wouldn't power on no matter what I did. I tried cycling, flipping the I/O switch, plugging directly into the wall outlet, and checking the power cable to make sure that wasn't the faulty bit. The cable is fine, but the PC wouldn't power on.
My PC is now in the shop for repairs and I'm worried because this was very unexpected. I have some important data on there and while I initially just thought it was a PSU failure but now I'm worried it might've taken the whole PC with it. This computer's fairly new, I just bought the parts in November and didn't assemble it until February.
This is the PSU I bought.

Since it's 80 Gold, if this thing fails that doesn't mean it would take out my data with it, would it?
Other specs:
I know I should've backed up my stuff, I know I'm an idiot, PLEASE do not rub that in. I had lots of difficulty finding a way to back it up and I was browsing my options but didn't commit to one and now I might've lost everything. I have a knot in my stomach over this, please give me some hope.
