Could the power supply cause Error Code CE-108255-1 & random shut off?

Up to this point, Error Code CE-108255-1 pops up along with my whole console lost power too many times after cleaning the console, replacing the cable with a new one, and replaced the Liquid Metal but kept doing on certain games. Even when its not overheating at all plus its plugged into a wall outlet directly but not seeing what is the issue.

I am debating if I need to buy a new power supply to replace the old one cause the main question is, is the power supply causing the power cuts if it became faulty? Also for the error code, does it engage that code when it doesn't have enough power to support the CPU/APU Chip to the motherboard? It even happens on PS4 Games as well that they do and even shut off like a PS5 Game

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Doubt it, swap power supplies with working consoles to check which one is broken.

@hernandez2883: Here is a description of the power supply that ifixit provides on their website.

"May fix issues like random app/game crashes, system freezes, or a burned out power supply."

I had to send in our PS5 when a storm surge bricked our unit a couple of years back. Sony never gave an explanation of what was the problem nor the solution when they returned it, but I truly believe that the power supply that sits in that PS5 now is a replacement. Looks like it's time for another one cause we keep getting CE-108255-1 on certain games (digital & physical).
