Hey everyone, thanks in advance for any assistance that can be given.
This evening I was playing a game and my PC abruptly restarted on it's own. It had done this a few times a couple of weeks ago after I installed the windows creators update, and I thought I had fixed the issue (guess not).
As it restarted, it shut off again. I powered it down and let it sit for a bit, and then when I started it up again everything seemed fine. I checked event viewer to see if there was any indication as to why it randomly shut off and didn't see anything. Went to check temperatures (it was pretty hot in the room, so maybe it wasn't cooling effectively) and suddenly it shut off again. I let it sit for a while longer this time, and now here's where we're at.
When I try to power it up, I hear a single click from the power supply. The light on my disc drive comes on, and my touch screen fan controller powers up. Everything else remains totally lifeless. I didn't want to start poking around too much, and I'm not sure if it's my power supply or something else. I'd like to avoid taking it to a shop if I can, so any insight as to how I can trouble shoot this would be awesome.
