So I've had a couple different issues recently. I brought my PC into a shop about 3 months back because my PC was losing monitor signal to one of my 3 monitors all the time. They told me I needed a new PSU, so they replace it, said they tested it for 24 hours under stress and never lost monitor signal to three they hook up. I take it home and 2 days later monitors shut off and I finally RMA'd the video card to make sure, got it back and hadn't had that issue at all anymore.
Now I'm having a problem where my PC just shuts off every once and a while. It's very random, it's only happened twice in a day once but it does happen every 2-3 days and the load does not matter. I checked the heat and there is no issue. About 2 weeks ago I finally did some windows updates and when I restarted my PC it got stuck on the loading windows screen no matter what I tried and couldn't get it go past that. It forced me to completely reformat my PC. So I reformat and reinstall essential programs and drivers. I then had my PC power off for the first time a couple days later. I download the Kingston HD tool that updates the firmware because it said it had 1% life, so I update the firmware and it now says that I have 22% remaining. I also seem to get my PC to hang up for about 30-40 seconds every once and awhile and Event Viewer reports that it has trouble writing file to C: and timed out.
So that points me to the PSU causing the power loss.
Just wanted to make clear that I did recently get a new PSU, I did have to reformat when PC failed to install windows update
