Hey guys just bought a new computer 2 days ago and built it myself. First day of it everything was fine but then the 2nd day it kept shutting down and leaving the power button blinking and I have to switch off the PSU before I can turn it back on. Help?

AMD FX-6300 stock clocks
MSI GTX 650 OC edition
MSI 970A-G43
Cooler Master 212 Evo
Thermaltake TR2 600W PSU
WD 500gb 7200rpm
thermaltake urban t31
patriot memory 8gb 1600mhz

What are your idle/load CPU/GPU temps? Your Thermaltake TR2 PSU is absolute garbage. I would return it and get a quality unit ASAP. Check out where the TR2 series ranks in this tiered PSU list (you have to look toward the very bottom of the list).

"Tier five - Replace immediately. These units are NOT recommended for any system, no matter the purpose. Reference to higher tiered models for a better and potentially money-saving unit"
