Hi, I recently upgraded a computer. (Bought the parts and had a friend help install them.) I am worried now because the computer will not boot. I had a full day of use out of it, and now it will not turn on. It happened the first time this morning. I opened the case and had a dig around, moved some cables, etc. I also unplugged one of my unused SSD's. It booted as normal, lasted about 10 minutes and crashed again. On boot in the first instance I had an artificial black screen with an "A2" in the bottom corner, lasting about 10 seconds, before a restart loop. The second instance, which is occuring now is just and instant restart loop of about 2 seconds, with an artificial black screen but no "A2". I am led to think that this is a motherboard issue because I do not see the motherboard logo as normal.

New parts:
New PSU - Silverstone Strider Essential 500w
New GPU - Geforce GTX 960
New MBO - H97M-G43
New CPU - Intel i5 4690

Case - NZXT Phantom 410 Mid-Tower

Thanks very much, I removed all the unnecessaries and found that the GPU was overheating, got some new firmware in and I seem to be running fine.
