PC Graphics Card/CPU Startup Issue - A PSU Problem?

There is a problem with my PC that occurs at random times where my PC case powers up but nothing else in the system seems to power on (though there is a light on the ethernet port on the motherboard). Recently, I have been experiencing crashes (black screen and then reboot) and various other issues with my graphics card, you can find these posts in my profile. Does this sound like a PSU issue?

 

My specs are as follows:

 

ASRock H97M-Pro4

Intel Core i5 4590

Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming

Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3 (2xDIMMs) 1600mhz

Corsair CX-750M

 

Any help would be appreciated.

check all power connections

 

if possible

 

swap the PSU to another working one

Thanks for all your help dragon20005. I have tried removing the graphics card as previously suggested and I have checked all power connections several times. A temporary fix at this current time seems to be to unplug the 24 pin connector from the motherboard and replug. Any idea of a permanent fix?

are you able to run the PC without the GPU and experience crashing and bootup issues?

If it's your PSU you better change it out fast before it fries your components.

Could also be your MOBO. Hardware issues are harder to pinpoint.

This problem has been occurring for some time now so I don't believe that my components are at risk of being fried.
