The Machine seemed to be running fine for a day so I decided to see if windows needed to be reinstalled or not as I've installed a lot and didn't relish having to reinstall windows again and go through the laborious process if it wasn't necessary.
Then while playing a game (Apex) the machine BSOD'd and it does now no longer restart. There appears to be power but the machine starts up for a second and then switches off.
Please see this video of the issue I recorded here
I've had a google (Oh oh) and reseated the RAM and GPU's carefully.
I've Checked Socketes and plugs on the Mobo, as far as I can tell everything seems to be plugged in ok. I have limited access to the PSU due to it being behind a plate. Checked on the otherside and it seems to be ok as far as I can judge such things.
Further to this The PSU makes a clicking noise almost like an indicator in a car not sure if that is relevant? You can hear it in the video above.
Of note as well however the machine does seem rather hot after a session playing games, unusually so, I'm not sure if the fans on two radiators are pulling or pushing air into the machine? or if this is usual? please excuse my ignorance its my first time owning a water cooled machine and maybe its usual to have temps of about 55 / 60 c on the GPU's and intel.
Any light you could shed on this would be much appreciated.
Cheers

That sounds very like an issue I had with my current PCS build. It would start up and then cut out straight away with a clicking sound. It turned out to be a motherboard failure. I had to do a RMA so that PCS could replace the motherboard.
