Hello

I recently built a new computer for gaming and programming, specs as follows

AMD fx6300
Sapphire vapor-x 280x
Gigabyte 970A-d3p
Seagate 1TB 7200rpm 64mb cache Hardrive
Ballistix 8gb ram
Antec 620w gaming psu

Now the problem is not when the computer is running, but when left idling when I go to uni it turns off. I was able to remote access it around 1-2 hours after leaving home, but later in the day I couldn't log on. when returning home I cannot turn it on at all, as if it has no power running to the system, Last night I swapped the power cord from my monitor to the psu and it worked fine. Now tonight this trick no longer works.

If the psu was faulty wouldn't it fail under load? I'm just unsure as to what could make it act as if it has absolutely no power. =\

I also recently installed a nzxt hue RGB controller, but am unsure if it was already doing this before it was installed.
