New Build Issues

I have an old HD-DVD external that I originally got to watch HD-DVD's on my XBox 360 that I use for installs on computers without DVD drives in them .. and it works just fine, so that shouldn't be a problem

Well, now it's installed, but keeps going back to blank screen after a few minutes...I don't get it at all

So, here's what's happened.

I finally installed windows. But, after a few minutes of running either
1) the mouse pointer will freeze on the screen
Or
2) the display will go out and the heatsink fan stops spinning but the rest of the fans continue to light up and spin as well as the mobo rgb

I haven't even gotten to doing anything but trying to install drivers

Then, I came home and it still kept doing it

I tried to repair, windows "couldn't repair startup"

I then tried to reinstall windows, and the problem continued

When the screen blanks out, the cpu fan stops spinning, but, the rgb continues to work in the heatsink

All other connected devices still spin amd read

Checked psu, it's working fine
Check ram, cpu, thermal paste all showing up in bios. Even ran single sticks of ram to check them.

Now, pc won't even boot windows

I'm just not comprehending what's going on with all of this.

I am reloading the usb with the media creator and going to attempt again...but, the pc seems to even stop working when in bios and not letting me reset or power down (all case fans are still rgb and spinning as well as the board rgb still working). I have to flip the switch on my psu to turn it off

I would agree ..sounds like a psu issue ..perhaps a bad capacitor inside of it so it 'seems" to work ..but you get wonky results like you are having. If you have a another one, or access to one .. I'd try that
