Computer won't start up

Hi, I am having problems starting up my computer.
When I fire it up, I hear the post-beep and see the splash on my screen.
I can then browse around in the BIOS and look at all the temps and voltages.
But when I continue to the boot of windows it either goes to Windows Repair or just shuts down, depending on if I have my SSD plugged in or not. 
When it is the first time its boots with the SSD it always goes to the Repair Utility, but after that it shows the windows splash before just shutting down.
I have no idea where these problems are coming from, because the computer has worked varying degrees earlier. 
 

Can someone please help me with this problem I am having?

When it powers off, Is it a normal ACPI shutdown, or is it a hard power off (Does not allow the OS to shutdown)

It shuts down completely and at once. Think that is hard power off. Not sure however.

It's brand new. It is the second one I have. RMA'd the first one. Still quite new though, got it in february.

it may mean the PSU is still having some trouble

 

swap to another model like the VSM or V series

OK this sounds like a hard power down, It sounds like a faulty power supply to me, do you have another power supply you could test to make sure with?

Nope, and it looks like I will not be able to borrow one from my friends. Should I send in the PSU for a new one?

This is probably a lucky shot, but have you tried a BIOS reset? That's my go-to fallback when nothing else seems possible.

 

Also, if your BIOS has the feature, you could monitor the voltages coming out of the PSU. If they show excessive instability, that might be a strong indication of a faulty power supply. Another option would be to manually check it with a multimeter.

 

One more thing to check: hook up another drive and try installing Windows on that.

Can't get to the BIOS to either reset it or Check the voltages, Computer shuts down before I am able to get in there.

Again, I'm not even able to boot into the BIOS without the Computer just shutting down. I get to see the cpu temp (24C) before it just shuts off.

Have you tried that? You don't need to be in the BIOS. You can clear the CMOS (the chip holding the BIOS code) by unplugging the machine and taking the lithium battery out of the motherboard for ten seconds.

Changed out the PSU and still not able to boot into Windows. Got into BIOS and took this picture: http://imgur.com/MlWnlXO

Think there is something wrong with the MB?

Wow. I'm surprised your computer is get into the BIOS with such a low 12 V line... Can you manually measure the voltage to be sure that reading is correct?

 

Also, are you sure you cleared the BIOS? That Vcore seems incredibly high for stock... Unless that's standard on AMD FX?
