Hi everyone.

So here's what happened: My PC all of a sudden turned off, and then switched on-off-on-off back to back within a few seconds, and then completely turned off.

After trying a few different things like reinserting 4+4 & 20+4 cables, RAM etc, I discovered that my PC would turn on for a split second, whenever I gave a slight knock on my PSU, and then turn back off.

This leads me to think that the issue is related to PSU, I just can't figure out what exactly it is.
That's why I'm here, hoping you guys can help me with this issue.

My PSU is an Antec VP450P, 450 watts for anyone wondering. I'm aware that the VP series are mediocre, but I live in India, where PC components are overpriced. The VP series was the choice for my budget, seeing the only other option was the Corsair VS series.

All help will be appreciated!
