Ive installed a superflower psu and my computer is not entirely stable. It starts off crashing playing games after say 30 minutes then 20 minutes, then 10... until it wont even boot. Pull the 24 pin connector out and put it back in and its good for another couple of days then it starts again. The connector feels fine when I remove it, its not dangling but is still clicked in place. Mobo issue, psu issue?

MSI Gaming 7 motherboard
16 GB 2400 ram
2x r9 290 graphics cards
superflower 1000w psu
windows 7 64 ult
various other junk hdds, water pumps, fans etc.
 
Basic rule of thumb for me is always suspect last component fitted.

I am assuming last PSU was fine?

Could also be a motherboard issue.

And on the off chance, check to ensure no pins/plugs are "creeping" and earthing the PSU especially behind the motherboard portion of the case.
