GPU: EVGA Nvidia Geforce GT 630
Storage: 250GB Samsung 840 Evo (Boot drive for Windows 8 and Linux Mint)

My problem:
I built my PC about 3 months ago and it has been running smoothly until recently, when my system randomly crashed and then rebooted its self. I first put it down to a problem with Mint (the OS I was using at the time) and waited to see if it happed again; it did. I then switched over to Windows 8 to see if would happen in this OS and it did, however the crashes now became more frequent barely letting me into the BIOS for over 30seconds.
What I have done:
- I have unplugged all of my drives and it still crashes ruling out a problem with the OS
- Removed the graphics card
- Unplugged everything from the rear IO
- Removed all of the power cables from my modular PSU apart, apart from the 24pin power and 8 pin CPU power
- Flashed the BIOS to the original BIOS the motherboard was shipped with, using BIOS flash back. As well as flashing it to the latest release
I have taken all of these steps and i still cant get it to stay on for over 1 minute, I am now starting to think it is a problem with my PSU but i cant test today. So I thought it would ask for advice on here and see what you all have to say.
Thank you for taking your time to read this and please get back to me with any advice you have, it will be much appreciated.
