At first i suspected it to be the Tv but because i had an old ps3 i decided to test it with that and it worked, so my next assumption was that the pc is broken. The pc is custom built and at the time i was just on the pc watching youtube.
Edit. When it happened last night the screen went black but it was still running and that's when it stopped working

The Pc was custom built ?

By that do you mean it was built by a local computer shop near you.
Or was it custom built by ordering it over the Internet, and selecting multiple options of system parts or configuration.
Was it built by cyber power by any chance.

The trap there is, you presume you will get quality parts in the system AtlasKoalas.
But often the most cheapest part placed in custom builds happens to be the quality of the power supply used.

You will often find though the power supply quoted that comes with the system has a high wattage rating stated.

If the sound came more from the system, then it can be a sign the power supply is failing.
Or if the system no longer powers up it has failed.

A quick test while the system is turned off is to put your nose to the back of the power supply where air vents from it via a fan.

If you smell an acrid or burned smell from it. then the power supply has likely blown up.

Well, I've had this Pc for a while, since may 2015. I had someone in my family build it and he bought all the parts for it
