So a week or so ago I had a problem with my computer shutting off randomly. I had bought a new Harddrive, PSU, and GPU, put em in, and this is where it all started. Originally, the computer wouldn't shut down AT ALL. It would lose its connection to the monitor, but the computer wouldn't turn off. I fiddled around with the inside of my computer, and that fixed the issue. THEN the complete opposite problem happened. It would shut down, then come on for 2 seconds, shut down, come on for 2 seconds, then shut down for good. The power button wouldn't work at all. The computer would then turn back on after flipping the I/O switch off and on again. Then it would do the same thing a few minutes later.
I eventually solved the issue by unplugging every cord of my PSU, and plugging it back in.
My computer has been complete fine for about a week, but just now I was playing a PC game, and it randomly shut off AGAIN. The exact same problem as before, would turn off and on over and over until I flipped the I/O power switch on my PSU, but only was on for about 5 or so minutes. I just unplugged and replugged anything AGAIN, and now it seems to be Ok for the time being.
The only difference is that I was playing a PC game this time, which may have triggered it? What could this possibly be? Could this really still be a faulty PSU even though it worked for a week, and went out from me playing a game? Or is it something else? My rig is :
GPU- Geforce GTX 970 Gaming 4 G
CPU- Intel Core i5-2500
8 GB Ram
PSU EVGA Powersupply 750 G2
Motherboard- GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3
Fan- >ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm CPU Fan/Heatsink
Harddrive
WD Blue 1TB Desktop 3.5 Inch SATA 6Gb/s 7200rpm Internal Hard Drive
