I left my computer on overnight and it wouldn't wake back up afterwards. Even when I hard reset it nothing would come up on screen (not even bios). Taking the graphics card out let it boot normally but since it's a new card I'm wondering if it's definitely a problem with that or if it could be that the PSU is dying and can't power it anymore (I've had it for about 5 years now it's the oldest part of the build) or how I could figure out what's wrong in general.
here's all the parts.

Ok this started happening without the card in so I'm pretty sure it's a motherboard or a psu issue.

that video shows that it's most likely not the PSU, because then the entire system would most likely power off instead, which might still be the case if you actually start gaming, in that case it will be the PSU failing you if you don't have any others to test with at the moment.
Tried the PC in a different part of the house, so you can confirm it's not the current circuit being iffy.
Booted with the minimal amount of hardware actually plugged in? (disconnect all fans except CPU, no HDDs or DVD drives or RGB strips.
No weird overclocks?
Tried a different display cable from GPU to monitor yet? Different combination of ports on either monitor and graphics card?
What happens if you boot to safe mode? Tried a full clean driver install yet? DDU + NVCleanstall

So I took the computer apart, tried to boot with only mobo + cpu+ ssd + ram, and it wouldn't boot at all (I guess it does technically boot but nothing comes up on screen).
Then I just switched the outlets the monitor and the computer were plugged into and it works fine, and still works fine with everything else plugged in. I have literally no idea what's going on (if the current was bad I would have had to go to a different room but I used the same outlet just swapped the plugs) so if any one has ideas lmk I'd like this to not happen again.
no overclocking
