Built this for my son for Christmas. Worked fine until about a month ago when he told me the screen would sometimes go blank. Eventually it would go blank shortly after he turned it on. I reinstalled Windows and the same thing kept happening. It restarts several times upon appearing to start loading Windows before going to the Recovery screen. Also seeing red bars across the screen when I should be seeing the Gigabyte logo on startup as well.

Solution
I'd try a better or at least similar (actual wattage wise) PSU and see if same, if OK then your current PSU may simply be deteriorating from the draw that's been on it
