Last night i noticed i got bllue BSOD 3 times in one day. Didnt think much of it so i just decided to sleep then. But now today when i start the computer it powered on, the fans were running and hdd running but then it shuts off again :(


sorry didnt remember the exact error i got

i tried resetting mobo to factory settings but to no avail. Tried unplugging the power cable for 20 minutes but it always happends the same thing. it only powers up for 3 seconds before it powers down again.

Im not sure which hardware compononent is at fault here

Seasonic's are really good PSUs, but five years is usually coming up on the average lifespan of even a good PSU in an enthusiasts computer. The symptom of briefly powering on and then shutting down is also typical of a dying/dead PSU. Testing with a known good PSU will instantly tell you if that's the problem.
