I've recently did a bunch of upgrades to my computer including adding more RAM, new GPU (1070) and a new PSU among other things a few months back. Shortly after installing the new graphics card, my computer wont boot Windows after its been sitting for a few hours. Im not sure the problem is actually related to the video card tho. It will just go to an empty black screen. If I perform a hard reset, it starts right up and there are no problems. But once it sits for a few hours with no power it will do the same thing.

I've tried updating my BIOS on my motherboard and that didn't do anything. Now i'm at a loss of what else to do. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Funny thing I had long ago exactly the same problem, I had a CX PSU and after letting the pc for 1 day it never turned back on, I sent the PSU and the new one fixed. It could be the same problem it could be something else, but you described a typical PSU failure scenario.
