Hello TomsHardware community, long time no see.
I come to humbly ask for assistance with an odd issue which will reboot my machine after shutting off cold turkey.
Back log: This issue started awhile ago (perhaps a month or so) when my desktop would start shutting off completely -- akin to unplugging it straight from the wall -- and promptly rebooting itself. It now does this once every day or two if I'm lucky. At first I thought it was my Bluetooth adapter (which has caused problems in the past), but after a fresh install of Windows 8, and abstaining from using the Bluetooth adapter all together I've decided that it is decidedly not a software issue.
Here is the build as it currently exists, pulled off of PCPartPicker.com:

As far as I know the CPU isn't overheating. I have RealTemp up and running nearly all the time monitoring it's temperatures. I've also cleared the CMOS and returned everything to stock with respect to overclocking -- including the GPUs. The machine in it's entirety holds strong during gaming or heavy use, and everything operates well within normal limits. The motherboard, PSU, and graphics cards are relatively new compared to the rest of the system. I shouldn't be having power delivery issues even if everything were overclocked to the max, and all power connections on the board seem to be well in place.
Perplexing enough when it does shutdown I'm either in the middle of working -- minimal usage at best -- or doing some light in browser gaming.
Thanks in advance.
