Hello,
So a few days ago my psu fan starting making a loud and annoying noise but I thought i'd change it later since the rest of the psu works fine. I searched it a bit and I changed my power plan so it wont make that noise and it really helped. But for 3-4 days now my computer either restarts on its own or go black after a while while computer is still on, all randomly no matter what i'm doing. I was thinking of changing my psu but could the problem be caused by something else? I don't want to spend money on it and not having fixed the problem.

Sorry, It's impossible to diagnose your problem via the Internet.

While it's possible that the PSU is failing it's also possible that the motherboard is the real problem.

Good luck
