Hey, first time posting, was always able to find an answer to my problems in already existing threads, but this time it's too specific.
So everything in my pc is about 6 months old but three things: my PSU (a 9 years old Cooler Master 1000w silent pro gold), my case (Rosewill Thor V2, also 9 years old) and my UPS (at work right now, don't have the exact model, but also 9 years old).
Additional specs:
Asus Rog Strix RX 5700XT
Ryzen 5 3600X
Asus Prime X570-P
Ask me if anything else matters.
I hadn't encountered any problem with this build so far, but this morning, this happened:
After a game of modern warfare, I'm spamming escape to quit lobby because I got rekt, and my whole pc just shuts down. Fan, leds and all. Pressing power button doesn't do anything.
At first, I tried switching off and on both the PSU and USP respectively, nothing. Then, I opened the case and found out which wire was going to the power switch, started fiddling with it, and bam, computer turns on.
Now here's the problem. Everything turned on but my graphic card. Leds on it were on but fans not spinning, monitor stays black. Everything else is on, CPU fan, case fan, etc.
I didn't get through anymore troubleshooting because I had to leave for work. Yes, nice non-stressful day at work right there.
My questions are:
What is, by the look of things, likely to have happened here?
Can a PSU only "partly die"? As in, could it be able to send power to some components, but not all?
If the PSU is faulty, is it a bad idea to troubleshoot by removing graphic card and trying to use onboard, or using my old one?
Thank you very much!
