From my experience power supplies can cause phantom problems and i am am having some right now. I thought i was having intermittent monitor or graphics card issues(screen would blink to black for a second or 2, then it started not coming on at at start up intermittently) I was also experiencing USB mouse issues but it was rare. I tried a borrowed monitor and had no problems for a couple days. Went and got another monitor and all was good for 1 day. Fired it up this morning and it was fine for an hour. Then the usb mouse quit and the pointer got a wierd shape. Then it disappeared . Cou;dnt get it back so did a power off. After restarting and running a few minutes with multiple open windows, i got some screen flickering as i scrolled. Then the screen went to white with colored verticle lines and no mouse. The optical light was out . Power off, restart...no usb keyboard, no mouse, no hub no video. But if i plug in a usb wireless adapter to the front, back or the extra usb port card i have installed it lights.
Older Cooler Master RS 450 ACLY ATX12v. Got to be 7 yrs old or more. I looked at my board, no bulging caps, connectors all wiggled seem fine.
Does any one else suspect the PSU. 450w is over what i need now and will likely need less if i move to a GPU with lower power needs.
