Heya! I bought a prebuilt from CyberPowerPC under a year ago with no issue until now, but after moving my setup to another location, my PC seems to be hard crashing after ~half an hour without a BSOD. It attempts to restart itself, but only turns on a handful of the aesthetic lights around the build and nothing else. I'm currently leaning toward an overheating or power supply issue, but I'm not positive. The fans seem to be able to spin just fine, and none of this was happening until the move.

I've tried just about anything I can think of to do, and I'm lost. I'm able to get it to fully turn back on after a short time.

That not only sounds like some no name PSU but also very marginal for that system. New location may have lower voltage and PSU can't compensate for it.

Would this be a replace the PSU with something reputable situation or am I out of luck if the new location has lower voltage? I'm not the best when it comes to this type of thing.

I should probably add that I didn't have this issue at this location last time I was here.
