The PSU is plugged into a Brennenstuhl powerstrip.

The board itself could also have some kind of problem, but I would not dismiss the idea of trying another PSU with that PC. If a different PSU changes nothing, then we know it's not the PSU. If you don't try another PSU at some point, it remains a question. |
Yes, it's the same installation as before. I didn't run into any problems in Windows (10) so far, my old motherboard also had the Z170 chipset. I was also wondering if this might be causing the system to hang at the start... So far I disabled fast boot to make sure this isn't causing it, but it didn't help.
Thanks for all the effort you put into explaining your thoughts, I'll give the PSU a try and get back to you.
