Hardware issue (lemmy.world)

Today, i turned on my Mint pc and it wouldn't let me type in a passpowrd. Even the mouse was not reacting.

So i rebooted, got a massive text wall that mentioned something about not syncing

When i rebooted again, it wouldn't start up only a few rotations with the fans and then it restarts and repeats this loop

I assume that this is a hardware issue but what should i be looking into and how do i make the recovery as smooth as possible?

fans start rotating for a few seconds and then it shuts down.

That could mean the CPU is getting too warm. Does the CPU cooler still work okay ?

I've passed it over to my local pc store and asked them to troubleshoot the hardware. I'm pretty sure that it is the psu as it was replaced half a year ago for doing more or less the same thing. Maybe something is breaking my psu
