Hi, I'm hoping to get some help with this issue I'm having. This is my first build (built about a year ago). 2 days ago, my computer shut off randomly. I assumed it was an update I had missed, that wanted to reboot my system. It turned back on, and I immediately noticed my mouse, monitor and keyboard had stopped working. I removed my graphics cards (2 crossfired Sapphire Radeon HD 6850) and plugged my monitor into my mobo's on board graphics. The computer booted up and everything seemed to be working fine. But the problem persisted. I re-installed windows, and everything has been going well until about 10 minutes ago, it happened again. I removed the graphics cards like I had the first few times, but it didn't boot up. I went around unplugging a few things and plugging them back in. Eventually I got it to boot up. It's working now, but if the problem persists, I'll have to do something about it. Does this sound like an issue with my mobo or GPU? I don't know too much about computers, just enough to build my own.
Cpu
Mobo
GPU
Power Supply
I'm also running on Windows 7 64bit, 8 GB ram and a 120gb SSD.
Any help would be appreciated!
PS: I was not playing any CPU intensive games, or anything. Just browsing the web when it happened.

I'd try a different PSU if you have access to one, make sure all your connections are good and there are no shorting wires anywhere too, re-seat all cards, power connectors, and RAM DIMMS. If a new PSU does not fix it before getting a new MOBO you will want to takr everything apart and do a barebones build - just CPU, 1 RAM stick, video and power. Then run memtest a long time and see if the error if you get any errors or restarts.
