Helping goons with math
I put in a new PSU and now I can't seem to get past the UEFI (when I exit it, it reboots right back into it). Is there an obvious thing or two to try or should I make a Haus of Tech Support thread for this?

It might do that if it can't detect any hard drives or other bootable things.
...Are you telling me I have to remember to give my drive power? (Thanks)

I have a 550W Seasonic power supply and a GTX 1060. They worked well together, and then my computer started randomly shutting down immediately, and then often not booting up beyond an initial fan spin and the light near the power switch coming on. Removing the GTX from the system seems to have solved the issue.

1. How can I be sure (or what's the chance) that the problem is actually in the power supply?
2. If it's in the power supply, but the computer works fine without the graphics card, is there hope of replacing the power supply under warranty?

Is there anything between the PSU and the power socket in the wall that could be acting as a bottleneck?

Thanks for the suggestion. There was a power strip in between, but that wasn't a significant factor. Replacing the power supply with a similar one did solve the problem.
