Advice needed

Afternoon gents,

I'm in need of some advice, this morning I was playing GTA5 when all of a sudden all my PC and peripherals went black. It was not a power cut but everything just gone off.

When I try to power in the up again nothing is happening... I'm right in thinking the PSU has bought it? Before I order another is there anything else I should be considering?

Odd, this happened to me yesterday playing GTA too. Power just went off, no blue screen or anything. Started up again fine though.

First of all, I'd take out the video card and plug into onboard graphics, see what happens.

I tried switching it back on straight away but nothing was happening. I'll give it a try when I'm back home in case it's having a moment.

If it ends up being GPU I'm due to change mine anyway so it's not the worst thing in the world.
