So I bought a gaming PC from CyberPowerPC about 2 years ago....worst mistake of my life . They determined the PSU was bad and sent me a new one, which didn't solve the issue so I RMA'd it and they swapped out another PSU and mobo. They then shipped it back to me in 20 more pieces than it had arrived....but it booted. For about 3 months. They then said it was out of warranty(because it took them almost a month to fix via RMA, and didn't extend the warranty after it failed the first time). So extremely aggrevated I abandoned it.
I just got a new job and decided to sink a total of $280 into it; $140 PSU, and $140 UPS system, because from it's current state it seemed like my town's terrible power may have been the cause of the last fail. So I got it all setup tonight....SAME ISSUE as before.
The front LED fan and PSU fan spinup, sometimes the Gigabyte splashscreen displays, sometimes it doesn't....and then the fan spins down, power led goes out, and sometimes it'll attempt to reboot itself and others it'll stay off.

Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4ghz 6mb Smartcache
12in1 Flash Media Reader
120gb Corsair Force GT Series SATA III 6.0gb/s SSD
Corsair XMS With HeatSpreader 16gb(4gbx4) DDR3/1600mhz Dual Channel Memory

The motherboard was swapped out by the idiots at cyberpowerpc, so I'm not sure if it's still the Z77 or not, however everything else should be accurate.(As an example of how terrible they are, when they had to rewire the case powerbutton/ports on top, rather than undo the phillips screws to remove that cover it looks as if a chisel was used to smash it free, with the screws left firmly in place, holding nothing but a shred of plastic in place beneath the screws)
I've removed the wifi card, gfx card, bdplayer, flashcardreader,hddbays, all case utilities(audioports, usb, sata etc) aside from the power/reset buttons, and 3 of the 4 ramsticks as well as swapping out the 1 remaining ramstick with a different one, and it still does the same thing. I also have removed and reconnected all cables to make sure they made a firm connection. And the last thing I tried was re-seating the processor, and I still receive the same issue of it not making it more than 8seconds max without rebooting itself.
Any ideas for what could cause such a massive, expensive, headache? That PSU/UPS order I received today was my full last week's paycheck, I could not be anymore furious that I am no closer to a working desktop than I was when I had my money.
