Hi.
I recently bought a used cheap desktop and I've been having some trouble with it.

First, the pc doesn't shut down; when I click "shut down" it restarts instead of shutting down. I changed some preferences on windows, tried forcing shut down through cmd, and disabled fast boot in bios. Nothing worked.

Second, when the pc is idle it randomly restarts out of nowhere.

Third, everytime I try to run Rekordbox to mix music the pc just restarts with no warning.

Fourth, when I try to play Subnautica or Forza the games suddenly crashes. I have no issues playing the games like lag or fps breaks. And it's not the crashing "windows troubleshoot", it just shuts off.

And finally, when I'm playing LoL usually I have at least one BSOD per day.

The last two errors I remember taking note is:

PFN_LIST_CORRUPT
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

Also my RAM blinks very quickly a red light while booting but I don't know if that indicates a problem.

I updated the bios, I changed the thermal paste of the CPU, I removed the RAMs and inserted them again.
I did a MemTest and all my RAMs seem to be fine with 0 errors.
I also ran a check disk through cmd and it said some errors were found and also treated. I have a disk tester that shows the healthiness of the disks and my disk seems ok (I never used this program before).

Specs:

i7 4790K
16 GB Ram 1600hz (4×4 2dif types)
Asus Z97M-PLUS
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4gb
Thermaltake RGB 700W PSU
3 disks: OPS SSD 230GB PCIe + SSD sata + HDD sata

Tell me what do you think because I'm going crazy. I don't know if I should buy any new component because I don't have any spare parts to test the pc.
 
So other can assist let get a speccy report.

Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.

Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.

To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:

In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

In the Publish Snapshot dialog box, click Yes to enable Speccy to proceed.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.
