Hello! I previously opened a topic discussing some minor issues with my computer having to boot twice every day. I first thought it was a power supply issue, so I bought a new power supply.
These are the following specifications:

I'm not sure what the problem is anymore and I'm starting to get worried. I dropped around 1.4k on this computer including monitor and other parts. Any help is greatly appreciated.
This is what I know so far;
I installed a new GTX 980 about 4 months ago. New power supply was installed at the same time.
The booting more than once occurred when I started to unplug the power supply every night I went to sleep. The computer indicated that the cooling and everything else seems to be fine.
Basically the double booting is when I wake up every morning after not using the computer more than 9-10 hours or so, I turn on the computer and it shows a black screen the entire time, and then the computer just turns off. When I boot it the second time it turns on regular and works fine.
This crashing on the computer started to occur about 4 days ago. It has never happened before. The freezing occurs randomly. It gives me different colored screens and if I'm playing music, the music gets stuck as if it was also frozen. Sometimes it's gray, sometimes it's green, sometimes it's blue. I have to turn off the computer completely. I'm writing this topic on the same computer hoping it doesn't crash in the middle of it.
Also note that I have this computer on constantly, as in I have sleep mode off. Hope that isn't a bad thing.
I already tried removing the battery out of the motherboard. I removed every component within my computer and that didn't help. I already cleaned this computer so there isn't any dust bunnies or anything like that
I'd like to add that I referred to an old topic here on tomshardware indicating it's a GeForce Driver issue. I uninstalled everything from GeForce and installed everything and it hasn't crashed yet. I'll keep everyone updated if the crash continues. I still however am curious for any input!
Thank you so much!
