Angry My computer starts....sometimes?

Hi everyone, think I'm going to change my name as I haven't been here in a while and its YoungGeekGuy for everything else, anyways I am having a somewhat horrible problem, when I try to turn on the computer it goes on for literally half a second and turns off, then when I try to turn it back on nothing at all until I turn off my psu and turn it back on after it loses its charge or whatnot, I try again, no luck, then I turn it on its side to open it up, press the power button viola, it boots, but today it took even more tries. Someone bought me the Battle Field 2 collection yesterday for a Christmas party and before I attempted to install it one of my hard drives started to stop and start back up very rapidly, so I banged on my case, something I usually never do unless my crappy chip set fan is grinding and I'm to lazy to open it up manually and stop it and start it until it stops. Anyways it stopped after I banged on it, so I put in battle field 2 and while starting the installer my entire computer froze, and DUh duh duh!! BSOD, big surprise (not really, this comp is being gay lately)! OK, so it restarts, I try again and it was fine. I opened up the error report and I read the support, well it says I may have a bad component, another big surprise(or not)To conclude all this I think it may be my psu as everything works fine when it finally boots and runs without a hiccup for a while, what are your thoughts, I just spent all my money on the Z-5500's and don't have money to invest until christmas comes around, but if I must instead of a 360 I will buy what ever I need to make it work, what are your thoughts?

EDIT: OMG I thinks its happening just as I install the patch oh no!
EDIT: NVM, that was close.
