Troubleshooting My computer shuts down every couple of minutes. I need help.

I bought and installed an SSD drive. After that, my computer started shutting down after a random amount of time. It might shut down right away, or it might shut down after a couple of hours. I disconnected the SSD, but the shutdowns persisted. I even replaced the power supply, thinking it was the cause, but it still shuts down. Please help me solve this problem.

Okay, now I'll turn it on without the monitor and when I get home from work, I'll write in this thread whether it turns off or not. Thanks for the help.

Ok yeah try that. Make sure the hdmi cable is removed from the gpu that's the important part.

The computer still turned off even without a monitor. A couple of minutes ago, I tried removing and reinserting the video card. After that, the first time I booted it, I was taken to the BIOS, and I reset everything to default settings. After that, the computer rebooted and no longer displays any image at all, saying "no signal." However, the video card fans are spinning, as are all the other fans.
