Hard to tell from a single picture, but there does seem to be quite a dark dust bunny growing around the heat sink next to where the cables exit. It's also the caps under that bundle of wire that usually fail, in my experience. I haven't seen the mains caps (large ones on the other side) fail myself -- though I'm sure it happens. They take a lot of abuse.

I've had the display driver issue twice before. Once when I had a card that was on its way to the grave, and another time when I just had some buggy drivers. So it could be either of those. If your GPU fan is clogged with the same drier lint and tar combination that's collecting in that PSU, it might need a hit or two from the ol' can of air. 😀

Well, I need to check more closely I guess 😊 I will clean it and check the caps underside.

It's not tar, though. Although I'm a smoker, my home is strictly a no smoking place. 😀

I have the new power supply now, but I like that one too, and it could be utilized with a less power hungry system. If it is salvagable, of course I'd like to keep it.

🤣 - I was being sarcastic. It looked like a crossbreed of drier lint and ROOFING tar. 😀
