Well, that's a bugger!
Not that it is that important - it was simple to prove, or disprove, that the PSU was not of good quality, and having no sticker proves that to me.
I have seen many, many PSU's in my time, from ones already in machines to one's I have purchased myself.
Honestly it would be hundreds and hundreds, in all the form factors, in all the brands, and I have NEVER seen a PSU without a sticker.

The re-branded, or re-badged ones, they even put on a sticker - so to not have one either means it was removed (why would anyone do that) or was never here - to hide something?

So, again, I would be getting my hands on another PSU, and GPU, to enable testing to continue.

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.
Alr so I will take my pc to an IT tech at my friends job, hopefully he can help else it will be going to a repair shop I will update you after I take it.
