Hi guys.. wondering if I should replace my five year old "Thermaltake Toughpower Grand RGB 850w Fully Modular Power Supply 80 Plus Gold Certified + Riing 14 RGB Fan " power supply due to an unexpected shutdown in combination with one other problem (keyboard no longer retaining "memory" of whether or not I clicked on "number lock on" after the PC is turned on again like it used to) or if I'm just overreacting.

My desktop PC which has lots of cooling power to the point where other people have, correctly, commented "Dude that's way too many fans 😛 " on this forum (two 140 mm fans in front, one 140 mm fan on the top, one 140 mm fan in the back, fairly decent sized PC case, decent CPU cooler and reported temps of 35 degrees for the CPU and 28 degrees C motherboard, 42 degrees temp graphics card, 33 to 34 degree temp for the not SSD two 8 TB drives) did the whole unexpected shutdown thing today.. I followed the advice in this thread


far as creating a sleep study report and got this rather dismaying message

"System Power State: Abnormal Shutdown
START TIME DURATION STATE ENTRY REASON EXIT REASON % CAPACITY REMAINING AT START
26 2023-07-3013:27:25 0:00:00 Abnormal Shutdown Unknown Unknown -
OS State Data

I'd honestly prefer to just wait and see if more problems pop up before replacing the power supply .. on the other hand afraid of damaging the (somewhat new, this past year) recently installed CPU/RAM/MB

Here's the hardware and specs on my PC in addition to the power supply mentioned above

AMD Ryzen™ 7 5700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor
(paired with "Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Air Cooler, Dual Tower 6 Heat Pipe"

Asus TUF Gaming B550-PLUS AMD Chipset Socket AM4 ATX Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) C16 1.35VDesktop Memory - Black, 2 count

Phanteks Pro M Tempered Glass Case, Black, PH-ES515PTG_BK

Thanks so much to anyone who reads this and replies :)
 
Wow that was a quick reply thanks so much SID :) .. and darn you're right I forgot to list the video card

ASUS GeForce GTX 1060 6GB Dual-Fan OC Edition VR Ready Dual HDMI DP 1.4 Gaming Graphics Card (DUAL-GTX1060-O6G) .. admittedly the video card is 5 and a half years old not sure if that's the problem (video card is dying)? I will admit it gets used for some long term gaming sessions albeit with older games (I think Deus Ex Mankind Divided is the most demanding game I've run on it ... working on completing Batman Arkham Asylum right now)

BIOS .. hmm.. I know I updated it not too long ago, version is 2806 .. not sure if this makes a difference but looks like that BIOS was released December 2022.. though admittedly they've come out with a new BIOS since then as of March 2023


....um, MB model number.. this is probably me being stupid 😛 but.. isn't B550-Plus the model number? Or am I looking for something printed on the MB itself?
