So I turned on my computer the other day and by the looks of it, the computer didn't make the usual sounds it does when starting up. My monitor wasn't even receiving a signal. So I try to restart, but the computer doesn't even have the power of doing that either. So by this time the computer is running but there's no signal and not even a beep from the motherboard when I finally managed to turn the pc off. When I started it again for the second time, there was no change in the status of the computer, except that the power light of the front of the chasis blinks at the same time to light from the power supply blinks. I came to the conclusion that it was the powersupply at fault since I just recently fixed my computer and confirmed then that the video card, motherboard, cpu, and ram were running perfectly and that dust couldn't be a factor either.

With that said, would it be reasonable to suspect the power supply as the problem?

If the power button is flashing in the front then yes it's the power supply and it needs to be replaced. This is coming from a computer tech.
