Basically before work today, I started installing a game and left it to sit while I was at work. When I came home, my computer was off and I couldn't turn it on or off without replugging it, or occasionally turning the switch off and on. When it did turn on, it would turn off after a small amount of time, sometimes a few seconds, other times more like 30 seconds, but an average of about 10. While it attempted to boot up the first time it gave me the error of winload.efi is corrupted, so I burned a windows iso to a dvd and inserted it into the computer. When I try booting from it, it will always crash at the "Press a key to continue..." screen. The crashing does not seem to be influenced by me changing the BIOS settings either. I went and dusted it, and afterwards it didn't crash for longer, although that could've been coincidence or because it was unplugged for longer. The computer worked fine before hand, and nothing seemed to be failing.
From what I can tell, the computer always makes it through the fancheck, and at least until the part where I can select BIOS settings or boot options (or just to continue) before crashing, although sometimes it doesn't make it past that.
I have tried replacing the power cord.
My best guess so far is that the power supply cut out during the install, causing the install to cause windows to become corrupted, and now the power supply is bad. However, it seems very odd to me that the power supply would just fail, so I'm questioning the whole thing.
The computer is Windows 10, a few years old. The power supply is a FSP Group Inc power supply FSP750 80APG.
