So, I put together a custom rig back in summer of 15 and it had restart hiccups when I play games or conduct something with heavy gpu need. This went on for about a month until I had a professional look at it. They said all the parts checked out and nothing was wrong with it. My problem of restart hiccups continued. I did what I can find online to do it myself. It was until I landed on using Norton and then it asked me to restart my computer. this is where I am considering giving up on this project. The computer does not boot. The gpu fans does a feint spin and then start spinning. Then the entire system shuts off. After the first try, the next few repeats have the exact same results with quicker instant shut off. I read something about short circuit and how mb would try to save parts if there wasn't enough power. I tried putting them outside the case. I tried switching gpu's. I removed cmos battery, reset cmos settings, I tried putting one part in at a time which only stops at the gpu. I have no idea where to go from here. I want to say my gpu slot is broken or something.
