Yep well we talked about this component some time ago and the volts on the different rails were showing some abnormalities in both the test I posted and what cyclops did. It isn't a big deal to swap it out and I think I did mention it is very underrated as a problem component.
Hi,
If the psu is modular it's not really a big deal to change out
If it's not modular it is a pain to swap but I suppose it's the logical next step :)
I finally I fixed the problem after so many months.
I recently upgraded to Win 10 hoping the problem would go away as nothing else that I had tried until now had worked. No luck, Win 10 didn't solve anything. So I started looking into converting the drive from GPT to MBR. That is certainly a downgrade but I do not plan on having HDs over 1 TB on that PC with no more than 4 partitions on the drive. I can't be sure but I think that the problem lies with the Bios not being fully compatible with GPT and since there is no Bios update for that board I have no other choice.
Anyways the computer is now shutting down completly.
I would like to thank every person that contributed to this thread and tried their best in solving my problem.

Yes well that sounds like the go mate personally I do not like any drives over 500GB because of bad experiences in the past and one can lose a lot of data with the large ones - the only large ones I would keep would be externals and even then I still don't like them.
