Hello,

So I just built a new gaming PC, tried it out two days ago worked fine the whole day, ran my games well, no problems. Yesterday was a different story, all of a sudden it started randomly turning off, not shutting down but completely turning off, mobo LED is still on but when I try to turn it on again with power button it doesn't work and I have to flip off back switch and unplug, plug back in and turn on again. It never turns off at specific times either, sometimes takes an hour or it turns off straight after I power it on, I've looked at temperatures and all seems fine except sometimes it says my CPU is at 13 Celsius which obviously doesn't make much sense however the psu might be a problem as it was suspiciously cheap. Here are my specs:

Case: Ranger R4-R
CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: MSi r9 280
Mobo: Asus M5A97 r2.0
PSU: Rosewill Stallion 700w Modular 12v

Hope someone knows what could be wrong, everything is stock, no over clocking or anything.

Windows was freshly installed when the computer was put together because everything but the HDD and SSD was brand new. PSU might be the problem, will try spreading the load with another PSU or just getting a new PSU entirely.
