PSU: 750W Seasonic Prime 80 Plus Titanium
I had a problem with an surge protected extension cable about 2 weeks ago, the plug flashed and made a noise and since then I am getting random reboots. I have of course replaced the extension cable with a new surge protected one so thats been removed from the problems but I am experiencing the following symtoms
Now I have tested my CPU/GPU/Ram in other systems and they all work perfectly as does my relatively new M.2 drive. So I would be right in saying that the surge could have damaged my PSU by the looks of it, what do you guys think?
The only other thing I can think of is that there's a bad earth in the socket the surge protected cable was plugged into and the PSU is kicking in its protection circuits and shutting down

I have of course replaced the extension cable with a new surge protected one so thats been removed from the problems but I am experiencing the following symtoms
- Random reboots during games or stress tests ( temps confirmed to be fine during stress tests )
- Occasionally it will shut down and only a full plug removal and wait of about 15 seconds before plugging it back in will bring the PC back on again.
