I bought new antec case for my computer. I just moved everything to it. Not touched anything. But now the computer keep shutting down. I tried new power supply and other memory but still happening. Can be 5 second. can be 30 minutes but always happening.

Mobo: Gigabyte Z270 HD3P
CPU: I7 7700
PSU: Antec 550w
Memory: G.skill ripjaw 2400
Graphic card: Sapphire RX 570
 
How did you move the parts without touching them ;). Check your wires. If that doesn’t work then test outside the box on some cardboard
 
Loosen the motherboard screws. Try to plug one thing at a time. Try another power cable.

Check for any damage on the motherboard circuits, or for something loose that may shorten the system.
 
I'd double check the power cables - that they're properly inserted, both on the motherboard and the PSU if it's modular . Also, did you happen to unplug the CPU fan?
 
Also check if your motherboard maybe touching the case from the back side and making some potential unwanted contact with the metal that can produce short circuit.....you can put some cardboard in between to be sure it's separated .....

Ah, no. Under the right conditions, cardboard could cause a short. Air gap with the standoffs is the best.
 
I released screws and connected fans to power supply instead of motherboard. 1 hour with no shut down.

Well...it helped me once but yeah it's not ideal solution.....
 
Shut down after 10 hours :mad::banghead:

Now I reinstall everything and put cardboard behind Mobo.
