Hi all,

Just like the title explains I have a fairly-new pc build, about 3-4 weeks old.
Was running like a bat outta hell up until about three days ago I have been experiencing my PC shuts down, no warning nothing just instant off no lights. My MOBO still has the green light on when this happens though. I have done the obvious(RAM check, put in new sticks, took off my CPU cooler-reapplied new thermal paste, unplugged everything from my box to my mobo, cleaned for static. I also have to unplug all power from my MOBO and wait atleast 1-2 minutes before the thing will even boot on.

Here is everything I currently have on my pc:

AMD FX-8320 Vishera 3.5GHz (Cooler Master Hyper 101i after-market cooler)
XFX Double Dissipation R7-260x-Radeon R7
HyperX XMP Blu Red Series 8GB
Raidmax Hybrid 2 630W ATX12v PSU
ASUS M5A78L-M LX PLUS AM3+ AMD 760G + SB710 Micro

Yes I am currently using it, for how long it will last,I cannot say. Sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 10 hours. But I will get the HWInfo right now. Concerned more about the MOBO failing than the PSU?

Any good/affordable brands that will run my PC on newegg can you reccomend? Should I run my PC untill that thing comes in? What am I risking? I dont see why newegg would give it a bronze/silver star if its shit?

Okay, would best-buy have a PSU reliable for instant use, or would my best bet just get off from new-egg and not run my pc the next5-8 days :( or should i still play it, honestly with the psu being so new what is the likelihood of it going in the next 5 days?
