As stated in the title my PC suddenly completely shuts down as if i would lose power. I am pretty sure that it is the Power supply but i wanted to ask if it even is possible for a CPU or GPU to just let the whole computer lose electricity before i buy a new PSU

Did you upgrade anything recently or same hardware as before but with shutdowns?

If its a new GPU for example it could be drawing too much power on load

    New build in the sense that you just built it, or it's been running fine for a few weeks and just started in the last few days

    Well i did build it 4 month ago and had the problem since then but i feel like it shuts down more frequently now. Could be the summer temp? But could also just be me and i use it more often now

    And oh shit, when you say you built it yourself: Did you use the Motherboard Standoffs (if they weren't already in place in your case)? If you didn't use them you might get random short circuits.
