On that note, what's the cable mod PSU? Haha
Thanks for the advice! I figured it might be hard for people to drop a fair bit of money on one computer.

And I knew I forgot something! It's an EVGA 850 P2.

Actually, maybe the community can help me here. I don't want to sell it but I'm having so much trouble with it and I don't know what to do with it other than to sell it hopefully to someone who knows what they're doing (after I RMA a part).

So a few weeks ago I came back from LA, turned my computer on and everything was fine. After about a day it rebooted on its own. I thought it was a Windows update so I ignored it. However, it started happening more and more. No matter what I was doing the thing would just reboot. I could be downloading something, playing a game, browsing the web, watching a TV show or Youtube, staring at the desktop, or just in my BIOS.

I checked the event viewer and there was nothing out of the ordinary. I even set Windows to not reboot in the event of an error and to show me the error message but I got nothing. It was as if someone pulled the plug on the computer.

I contacted EVGA and they sent over another power supply (refurb I assume). I plugged it in and everything was fine for about two weeks and the reboots started to happen. I knew it wasn't Windows (because it rebooted in the BIOS) but I thought, what the hell, let me re-install Windows. It took 5 attempts before I got through the installation process without a reboot.

I contacted EVGA again and they're sending me a new power supply. I don't know if it'll fix the issue and I've tried everything I know (removed parts, removed RAM, unplug/plug things back in). Anyone have any suggestions or ideas? The only thing I can think of next is to replace the motherboard.
