Sounds more like the Power Supply to me
I have changed countless PSUs on PCs over the years - they seem to be the
'achilles heel' of PCs !
They are pretty much made down to a price which means cheap elecrolytics
amongst other things - s- they just seme to give up the ghost after a few
years (or less).
Only real way to establish whether its the PSU is to unplug the connections
to the m/b and other components and connect up a spare one and see what
happens. No need to actually swap them over in the case until you have
established whether thats what needs fixing; the cables are usually long
enough to perch the spare PSU somewhere with the case open while you test.
