Recently my computers been having difficulty starting, and has also been shutting down very suddenly. It has only ever shut down while gaming. Usually when it shuts itself down, unplugging it and plugging it back in will make it begin to start up then immediately shut back down. The longer its left unplugged the further into the start up process it will get. It never seems to shut down after I've logged in unless i play a game for a bit. Please help
 
Thats odd.. I do assume it is a heat issue do to the computer being off for longer making it start faster. That is a good PSU you have so we can't assume it is that.. Another thing that leans it to heat would be that it shuts down while gaming. AKA underload.

Thats what i thought at first but it does stay fairly cool, the only other thing i can think of is maybe a loose connection, but im not too sure what loose connection would be causing the entire system to shut down
