Possible PSU Problem

Hi guys, I have a really disturbing problem. Recently my OCZ started smoking so I changed PSU to a Cosair 750w.

I got it today, installed it and it worked just fine.

Well it worked just fine when my case is horizontal. When I put it upright it restarts during the black window screen, What's even odder is that even when put on an angle it work perfectly. Only when it's vertical does it not work.

Please help! All wires are tight and nothing touches when it's vertical either. I have no idea what's wrong.
 
Try unscrewing the PSU and just tilting that while you boot. If the problem persists then it has nothing to do with the PSU.

Best thing to do IMO. Since it's a positional problem it definitely sounds like there's a loose screw somewhere. Doing that would isolate the problem. The thing I see that would be most likely is a screw fell in through the fan grill of your PSU.
