    pc shuts down randomly

    Hi. i’ve had my pc since 2013 and haven’t really upgraded much except for the graphics card a couple of months ago which was done by the company which i bought my pc from. before changing the graphics card my pc wouldn’t even turn on at all, but now after having it changed it shuts down randomly even when im just on youtube and when i try to turn it back on the lights go on for a couple of seconds and shuts back off. I have to leave it alone for half an hour or so for it to go back on. so i called them up and they said it was because of my power supply. is there a way to test if this is true or not? i already did gpu and cpu benchmarks but it completed them both without shutting off.

    i’m not that great with pc hardware and it’s my first time here so my bad if it’s obvious… thanks.

    My pc:
    case: Cooler Master Silencio 550
    power supply: 700 Watt Cooler Master voeding,
    cpu: AMD Vishera FX-8350, Eight-Core,
    motherboard: MSI 760GA-P43FX,
    16GB DDR3 ,
    SSD Samsung 840 Series 120GB, 2000 GB SataIII Hardeschijf,
    Gpu: AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB changed to Nvidia gtx 1060 6gb

    7 years old, so it could be the PSU.
    they can always change it and if the issue is still there, there should be no charge and they can put the old PSU back in.
