          Ok so sorry for not responding I hadn’t been able to fix the issue but reseating the gpu or disconnecting and reconnecting the PCie cable fixes it temporarily

            Would still be my recommendation to try another power supply or graphics card.

              Most of my family uses laptops so I don’t know where to get my hands on a Psu would buying a new one be an option?

                It would be an option, but may be a waste of money as we are trying to troubleshoot what part may (or may not) be to blame.

                If you can’t get a PSU or GPU for further testing, and it would be a shame to buy those until we know for sure, it may be time to take the PC to your local repair shop.

                Most good shops should be able to use one of their PSU’s they have lying around and go “Ha-ha, that worked” and then sell you a new PSU, or repeat that process for the GPU. So you pay for parts and some for labour.

                  I haven’t been able to find local pc repair shops is there any type of descriptions or names I should be looking for?

                    I’d be Googling something like “PC repair shop Dallas” or “computer repairs Austin” - that sort of thing.
