Prusa Mini Restarts when i Press Preheat

Well i guess my PSU is dying or idk as soon as Hotend and Bed are heating at the same time my Prusa mini just restarts

 

 

I can heat Bed and Hotend alone but as soon as both start it just dies and starts again

 

How can i check if it is my PSU? Any other ideas :=<

hey thanks i talked to the very helpful support and i think the PSU just cant stand Heatbed and Hotend heating at the same time.

160W seems to be not enough once it starts to get  a bit older :3

Check the 24V supply voltage directly on the board during preheating. If it drops too much, the source is weak. Perhaps the consumption is too high, because the resistance of the heating element has decreased due to an internal short circuit. Check the resistance of the heating elements, especially the bed.
