About a month ago I replaced my power supply, a few days after doing this my computer turned off by itself and wouldn't turn on, I unplugged the computer and put the socket into a different plug, the computer worked again, but the previous plug continued to work with other appliances.
This happened several times until yesterday, I was playing a game and it turned off silently, I waited a few minutes and restarted the PC as normal, I can see a light on the graphics card is on but the computer will no longer start up after turning off silently yesterday during a game. Any ideas what I should do?

I guess the PSU is got a type of "you have used too much power, I am gonna shut off" and by plugging out the cord, you reset the PSU.
Sounds like one of you PSU outputs are draining too much power. Read the manual and try to change the wires in a way they utilize the PSU output configuration.
