Windows auto repair doesn't work and it won't let me reinstall Windows from usb

[caliago]

So first of all I was having issues with my monitors connecting to the pc. Often getting no signal etc. Continuing to restart pc or holding the power button down while power is disconnected would usually the trick.
I then left my pc on during the night and when I returned it had of course went to standby. I tried getting it to wake up and it did, however the screens were getting no signal. I did some fiddling and decided to turn the pc off and on again. It boots up with autorepair and diagnosing computer and or diagnosing disk. It gets to 6% and then restarts doing the same auto repair again. And once again at 6% it restarts. It's a loop. I then decide to try and reinstall Windows from USB which seemed to be working.. Untill ofcourse. Restart in the middle of it. Tried again.. Restart. I'm thinking it may be the harddrive as my pc is getting quite old. The harddrive was manufactured about 2013 according to its case. I think I picked it up at around 2014 in a prebuilt acer predator system.

lost of single from video card and reboots are likely one of two things.

1. your video card is faulty
2. your power supply is faulty (and the more likely culprit)

But it literally won't let me reinstall Windows. Can that be due to psu or gpu? It never rebooted during uptime. Like if it was turned on it remained on without ANY issues. Only when screen went into standby with pc or I manually restarted the screen while the pc was on would I get signal issues. Or ofcourse when first booting. And it only reboots at a certain point of the auto repair boot each time. Is there a way to check if it is indeed psu or gpu? I don't have any to replace lying around sadly.

take gpu out, and plug monitor to the main board video connection *assuming Intel processor/mobo*
if your system is an amd system sorry you cannot do that there is no on board video connections. and you will have to test it on someone else's computer

Doing it right now. Still doesn't seem to work

Using repair feature from an USB didn't work. But I did restart the pc and it seems to be setting itself up for the new video output since I've never used the motherboard one before. Will come back with results

Alright so it actually seems to be working Damn. You're a magician. So I'm running on an Intel HD type thing right now? Could I game cpu focused games?

well, that proves that the video card COULD be the issue, it still doesn't remove the fact the PSU COULD be dying on you.
only way to know right now is test video card or get a new psu and retest with video card, but, it is definitely power related.

make and model of your PSU ?
make and model of video card ?

Gpu model:Gtx 760 1.5gb GDDR5 (i guess default version as there's no extra branding such as Evga etc)
PSU MODEL NUMBER: FSP500-50AAGA

Okay so the pc is still doing the no signal bullshit. Even without my old graphics card
