So I was playing GTA V with my friend and then all of a sudden I hear the team speak closing sound and my PC turns off.
I have tried removing the ram etc but I cannot turn it on now.
As soon as I plug in the power cable to my PSU, it automatically turns on and then shuts itself off after a second or two.
The motherboards green power light shows, the gpus LEDs light up, fans all begin to spin etc but it just turns off.
Most of my hardware is fairly new and I just can't seem to find the problem.
 
Solution
Well for starters, you gotta find out what's causing the problem.
The PSU is the main component that feeds power to your other components and computer obviously
Maybe the PSU is not that good or is faulty and you should replace it.
Look for videos on YouTube on testing a PSU with a little paper clip test and see if it's the problem.
If that's not the problem, maybe its the motherboard. Its what controls all your other components.
Components can be brand new, but can come with all sorts of problems from the factory.
