Once had a PSU dying on me with quite the same results. Sometimes
freezing, etc. Became worse and worse and eventually the PSU died.
Not initially, but eventually it had problems booting up, once that
started occurring it made it quite easy to figure out the problem
(was suspecting overheating, bad connection, GPU before that).
