Wasn't quite sure which category this is best put in, but anyway:
After starting my computer I ran into a STOP Error and I shut it down. After pressing the power button to turn the computer back on, the computer would shut itself down within three seconds of booting up (before anything appears on screen) and would continue doing so, so I flipped the house socket switch to stop the loop, and left it awhile.
After trying again, the computer would finally stay on, but would crash on the BIOS screen (and one time it paused with the underscore still flashing, nothing would happen but the underscore flashing was still going).
Nothing else happens, it just crashes on the BIOS now, haven't reached the Windows login screen yet.
I don't think the motherboard or PSU are the problem as I just got replacements, thinking they were the issue - but apparently not.
I feel it could be the RAM at fault (as some friends suggested), but I would like some more answers.
My computer setup is no older than three weeks and you can find the specs below.
