Computer started having power issues hours after having played a blu-ray movie in it for the first time the other day. The computer would randomly turn off, like it lost power. Sometimes I can get into the OS for a long time, sometimes it would power off as it got to the BIOS screen.
All the hardware seems to work including every fan, including the cpu fan. The computer does not seem to get any hotter than normal. CPU is not currently being overclocked. There are no BSODs.
The computer was fine before playing the blu-ray movie. The parts are no more than three months old, and only used for less than a month.
The computer is plugged into an APC battery backup which seems to work.
