Hi everyone, this one is a bit of a saga.
So about a year ago i noticed that when playing some games (world of warcraft and cities: skylines) my pc would crash. With no notice, the pc would turn off then immediately restart. My googling led me to believe it was a ram issue, and after a series of memcheck runs, it came up riddled with errors. Great! I bought some new ram and wacked it in, but the issue remained. After a few months of troubleshooting - namely disabling automatic restart on crash and error logging - it still persisted. I then thought it was a faulty PSU, and replaced it.
It was smooth sailing for about 2-3 months, when the issue came back. At this point, many nights of googling I came to the conclusion that it must be my mobo playing up. I shelfed the replacement until the new AMD line, but two days ago the computer crashed while I was playing league of legends (which was new). It then got stuck in a loop where it would turn on for a few seconds and then turn off, with no post. It was stuck cycling so i turned it off at the wall. Next day, ready to troubleshoot, but to my surprise, it turned on, booted into windows, and i was able to play cities skylines (a problem game) for about 2 hours before it crashed again and automatically restarted.
So today i bit the bullet and bought a new mobo and cpu and installed it. It posted, sat on the little windows "readying devices" screen for a bit, and shut down. I thought it was restarting to finish the install, but i was wrong. I went to press the power button and now, the power button would not do anything. Turning it off at the wall and back on, the power button would work, and this time it got to the log in screen. I logged in, and it crashed. After this, it rarely manages to get into windows on occasion, and most of the time crashes after posting.
So now my issue is that my computer only barely boots into windows sometimes, and after crashing the power button refuses to respond.
I am at such a loss. Any help or suggestions would be great as I feel completely defeated.
