How do I know for sure if my psu is defective ?

My computer seem to crash and reboot randomly. No logs, no blue screen.
The display goes black for few seconds then reboot.

I did multiple stress tests of various components to figure out which could be the source but with no success.
The crashes seem to happen completely randomly, sometimes when I’m barely using my computer, other while playing video games.

There is no consistency

I would suspect voltage regulators on the motherboard. Look carefully if you find any odd looking regulators or capacitors, sometimes you can't tell by looking though unfortunately.

99.99% chance it's RAM.
>but I stress tested the RAM!
And there's still a 99.99% chance it's RAM.

Get a second PC that you're sure works, switch PSUs, if those issues get fixed on your PC and start happening on the loaner, then the PSU is the issue

assuming windows set reboot on fail from auto to bluescreen display and logging mode

Divination spell. If that doesn't work, ask the spirits (chatGPT). Tech support thread

If you get random crashes under different loads I don't thinks it's the PSU

get a multimeter and test the 24 pins?
that would rule out the psu right?
Is that not good enough?
