This is, from what I can tell, a different problem, so I will post it in a different thread here.
For context, this is my recent history.

I took apart the PC in an attempt to try and fix the issue with the motherboard causing an electrical short as was suggested by Sohom.
No, I had not recently overclocked.
And for a time it seemed as if my issue was solved by removing the back plate entirely from the computer case.
Until these last few days when the computer has, once again, begun to shut itself down. Without being under load a significant load. There are no cable changes occurring, no vibrations occurring in the surrounding space, and things seem to be going fine, until the computer shuts itself down.
In an effort to try and cause a BSOD to tell some kind of information and rule out certain possibilities, I disabled the automatic restart that occurs, but the shutoffs are still occurring without displaying any sort of information.
I believe that either there is still a short somewhere, or there has been irreparable damage done to the power supply (be it because of the shorting or because of another type of failure within that part.
There did not seem to be anything wrong with the way the motherboard was mounted on the case, and now that there is no back plate on the case where the USBs are plugged in, there should not be a short there.
Another little tidbit of information that might lead to the conclusion of a power distribution failure is that VERY RARELY (twice in the last month) when I try and run certain games, the monitors will go black, as if they were no longer connected to the computer, and then they would come back on. Only once did the monitors not come back on, but while that was happening, the sound was still playing through my headphones.
What seems to be the cause of the problem and how do you recommend I approach solving it?
