I recently moved to a new apartment and for some reason my PC is turning off by itself. When I try to turn it back on, it doesn't respond and only responds after a few minutes. The PC turns on for 30 seconds to 1-2 minutes and then it turns off again.
Things I've Tried:
- Opened up the case to find any loose connections. Disconnected and reconnected just to be sure too.
- Checked to make sure fans were on and working. (They are)
- Used the paper clip test to make sure PSU was OK.
- Booted PC up in BIOS. It still turns off randomly (checking if it was a virus or OS problem).
- Dusted inside with decompressed air to clean out as much dust as possible.
- Checked capacitors to see if any were corroded or bloated.
Hardware:
PSU: SeaSonic X-650 (4-5 years old)
Mobo: Z77 Extreme 4
Memory: Corsair 8gb x2, 1600Mhz
Not sure what else is relevant, but just let me know and I can provide more info.

At this point I'm all out of ideas, and not sure what to do. Please help!
