[HELP] PC suddenly shuts off (lemmy.crafty-codes.ch)

As stated in the title my PC suddenly completely shuts down as if i would lose power. I am pretty sure that it is the Power supply but i wanted to ask if it even is possible for a CPU or GPU to just let the whole computer lose electricity before i buy a new PSU

Once upon a time.. my second machine ever over a decade ago I forgot to use standoffs, this caused the system to short out but turn on for about 10 - 15 minutes before turning off, would have to turn it back on after resetting power supply. Real bone head move on my part.
