Recently I upgraded my PC, and about three weeks later it will turn off completely at random points. When I press the power button it turns on, but turns off about 5 seconds later. Sometimes it will stay on for more than 5 minutes but eventually always turns off. I have tested the PSU with another PSU and it still turned off, and when trying each dimm of RAM it still turns off. And when it does post, it goes to a EFI screen that states:

"EFI Shell version 2.31 [4.654]
Current running mode 1.1.2
map: Cannot find required map name.

Press ESC in 1 second to skip startup.nsh, and any other key to continue."
I have cleared the CMOS multiple times and changed SATA ports and this problem still persists.

Is this a motherboard problem?

Here are my specs:

CPU: AMD FX-8350
Cooling: Corsair H80i
MOBO: MSI 970 Gaming
GPU; x2 MSI Radeon R9 270's in CF
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaw X-Series 16gb
PSU: Corsair RM 650
HDD: Western Digital 1TB Caviar Blue
