Hey I just got this pc last month. but in the past day or two it turns off while under load. And my pc wont turn back on, sometimes I wait for 2-3 hours than it might turn back on.

My pc
windows 7 64 bit
r9 290x asus gaming edition
16 gb of ram
1 tb HDD
I7 4770K
750 W CROSSHAIR

Things i have try
-check gpu temp under load 80 f which is normal
- take out each component and try to start pc until i was just left with the cpu
-reformat
-clean each component


please help thanks
 
Solution
You need at least a 600w PSU for that GPU (leaving plenty of room for the rest of the system) with a stable 12v rail. I doubt anything other than the PSU was damaged. So, change the PSU and problem solved (hopefully)
