I'm assuming it's a hardware failure, because it's nothing to do with the software/OS. Now, my guess would be that it's something PSU related, but it may as well be the CPU, GPU, RAM or hell, even the mobo. Something might be shorting in your case? For example, my PC was shutting off, bluescreening and freezing randomly until I found out that a cable at the back of my PC was shorting 2 RAM pins which caused failure. 

My suggestions (at least for now) would be:

  • Reseating RAM
  • Reseating the CPU
  • Checking if everything's connected well and please, make sure to check the back of the case to make sure nothing's shorting because, again, I've had a very similar issue
  • Unplugging front I/O buttons and trying to turn the PC on by shorting the pins with the screwdriver (I know someone who's had the issue where his PC was randomly shutting off because the power button was damaged)

Not really sure what else to suggest, let us know if any of these have helped. In the meantime, someone else might pop up with some more suggestions.

As I said, try doing all of the steps I've mentioned above (particularly reseating/taking out and putting RAM back in)

PSU troubleshooting is a big pain so I don't really want to guide you through it, as I can't think of an easy way to do it, so I'd suggest to wait 'till someone else jumps in as well and gives some more suggestions. Would you mind giving us a bit more info about your hardware (particularly CPU, GPU, Mobo and PSU models)?

hmm... just to confirm, RAM is in slots 2 & 4 or 1 & 3? If not, make sure to put them in either of the two, because of Dual channel.
Did you try reseating?
