I think I've diagnosed my computer well enough already, and have deduced that my power supply(/ies) are faulty and/or inadequate.
My specs are as follows:
Asus P8H61-M LX/V3 LGA1155 MB
Intel i5-3450 LGA 1155
2x4gb Corsair Vengeance 1666Mhz
WD 3.5 SATA Blue 500 GB
Samsung DVD-RW 22x SATA
Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti Boost
The first power supply I used was a Cooler Master EX2Treme 475W which lasted at least a year before it failed on me. I gave up on it when the computer ends up in an on-off-on-off cycle with about 3.5s intervals.
I got my hands on an old power supply called Power Logic Magnum Pro 315W. I fixed everything up with it and worked fine for at least 20 minutes, half spent on playing Firefall on med-high settings. After I exited the game and browsed the internet for a while, I lost power to my keyboard and mouse. I forced shut down my computer. After that, my computer would only work if I plugged out my graphics card.
I'm planning to get a Corsair RM650. Would that be a good replacement to last for let's say 2-3 more years?
