CPU: Intel i7 930 ( Stock )
Motherboard: EVGA x58 SLI LE ( 141-BL-E757 )
Power supply: EVGA 600B Bronze ( Less than 1 year old )
GPU: Radeon r9 290 ( stock, week old, AMD Omega driver )
Other sources of power: 4 Ram sticks 1.5v , 2 HDD ( one is usually inactive ), 1 SSD, 1 case fan, corsair H60
What Is happening: I can not reproduce the problem on demand its been sporadic but frequent over the past month. The most common occurrence is when I click play on embedded video its almost as if the graphics driver is crashing ( and not recovering ), I've tried tried running Google chrome with and without hardware acceleration neither made a diffrence. I've been using GPU-Z to monitor my graphics card while gaming and I've had a single lock up ( of the game ) and at the time I didn't notice voltages becoming any higher before the entire system locked up and its for the single crash I believe the problem is not exclusive to google chrome. The one consistent thing that occurs even without the crash is that when my computer does a full shut off it will not reboot for some time, if at all, the case fans will spin ( CPU fan will slow or stop ) and the GPU fans / HDD will spin and the only way I can get it to turn off is with the switch on the power supply but after a few minutes of this it will POST successfully without a crazy beep scheme
What I've tried
Does anyone have the slightest idea whats going on or what could be causing this?

What I've tried
Reassembled the computer to make sure everything was connected properly and all the standoffs were installed correctly
Tested the system using my old graphics card and the problem happened a few hours later
I did not have an alternative power supply but I did have an extra cable so to eliminate the possibility of a damaged cable I switched them. I was desperate .. lol
Checked the motherboard for any capacitors that looked like they were browning or buldging and used a flashlight to check what I could see inside the power supply. Reset my cmos and double checked VDroop was enabled in the bios
Does anyone have the slightest idea whats going on or what could be causing this?
