If you want help installing that power supply let me know I will send my phone number. Or if you want help with the RAM.. i can help you as well. Would love to have a pic in side your PC so I can guide you better. Let me know......... I can also look at your system via crossloop to check a few things like evenlogs. But sounds like a hard lock. Drive or hardware.... think hardware.

Best Buy was great in helping me which sort of surprised me. I was going to have them install the power supply but they easily diagnosed that was not the problem. He plugged in and it started up right away. I had opened the power supply but they took it back with no problems. They also did some diagnostic testing and all looked good. Then he asked how I had it plugged in which was to a surge protector. Bottom line there was the problem for the complete shutdown. It also could have been causing the previous problems with the PC partially turning off. Apparently the PC was being denied adequate power by the surge protector and then the surge protector completely shit the bed. Now I have a new surge protector and my PC goes directly to a wall outlet. The surge protector handles 4,350 Joules. The other one was very old. It remains to be seen if it also resolves my in game PC shutdowns. I am hoping it does. Gamed a little bit a few minutes ago with no problems.

I had hoped the two were connected.
