Hi I was playing hitman 3 on my PC, Then it suddenly turned off. I tried rebooting it but it doesn't post anymore. What could be the problem?

Last month when I did my regular cleaning on my pc, I noticed that the power supply fan isn't spinning anymore, I tried running Valley Benchmark plus Prime 95 stress test to see if it will have any problems. My pc worked fine (without the fan spinning) until today. It suddenly turned off and it doesnt post anymore but the motherboard has still lights on it (the green one) but when I press the power button it doesnt turn on (no fans are moving at all)

When I opened my Pc, I noticed that the powersupply is quite hot.

I tried troubleshooting to identify if either the graphics card is the problem so I removed it, still no post. But motherboard has green lights.

I think it is very unlikely to be a processor overheating issue since I am using an AIO Watercooler and my temps are only at around 60c when gaming. Sometimes my gpu is hitting 80c but only on rare occassions but then again, i removed my graphics card and still no post.

I also tried removing one of my RAM to see if it is a ram issue but still no post. I also tried removing or unplugging all my storage devices and tried re using my stock cooler, still no post.

Im trying to identify whether it is a powersupply Issue or a CMOS battery issue even or a RAM issue, I have no way to test because I lack the extra parts I also dont know how to jump start a pc since im afraid i might mess something up.

Im thinking of going to our nearest stores to buy a new power supply since it is most likely the problem but im afraid to spend just to find out that the powersuoply isnt the problem.

I also dont know if there are any shops near me that repairs Pcs to check on my pc.
I really need suggestions. Thanks

This one and maybe

but can't find much about the Silverstone other than it's a LLC from High Power.
THANKS, i ended up buying cooler master mwe 550w white, i saw it listed on the tier list of power supplies but the ones that are there are the gold ones? i think. and they are under B tier and low priority since some say that it has coil whine.
