I think I have a problem.

So, I recently built a computer with the following specs:
AMD FX 8320
GIGABYTE 990FX UD3
8GB RAM
CORSAIR 750W POWER SUPPLY
7870 SAPPHIRE HD GHZ EDITION

Just now, I got up to do something and left my computer for around 15 minutes, and when I came back the monitor was in standby mode. Understandable, but it wouldn't display my screen-- so I restart my computer from the switch. The LED lights and fans on the computer start up again when I press it again, but after about 3 seconds they fail and shut down again. I tried about five times before taking out every extension from the computer and switching the power supply button on the back to off and on again. Now, it's perfect again. What went wrong? Should I be worried? I only had this computer for three days. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Could be a faulty PSU, which would be strange because corsair never fails :p... I'd ignore it, unless it happens again then maybe start testing components to see where the issue would be from..
