First off I am pretty sure my PSU is failing but not sure if this really fits into troubleshooting or upgrades section. Anyway, last week my computer powered off and rebooted randomly and hung at the motherboard screen. I hit the reset button and got a message saying a power supply surge was detected then it took me into the bios. All was well until today when it happened again so I rebooted again then it didn't even finish booting and then shut off completely and wouldn't turn on again until I unplugged the power cable and plugged it back in. I am 99% sure the psu is buggered but what would you recommend as a replacement, or is there a way to fix the issue without replacing the PSU?
Currently I have an Ultra X4 650W PSU that is from 2011. Some people have said bad things about ultra PSUs. Given my current specs and the thought of building an AMD Ryzen 4 or 6 core CPU build later this year with the same hard drives and graphics card what would you recommend? I don't want to spend too much on the PSU ideally under 120$
