I recently installed a new SSD, and since then, my computer has been shutting down unpredictably. Sometimes it shuts down almost immediately after starting, while other times it can run for a couple of hours before it powers off. I've even tried disconnecting the SSD, but the issue continues. I also replaced the power supply thinking that might fix it, but I'm still having the same problem. Can anyone help me figure this out?

It might be worth putting your old SSD back in and testing it without any other changes. This can help clarify if the new SSD was causing the issue or if it's something else entirely.
Have you checked all your cable connections? Sometimes a loose cable can cause random shutdowns. Just double-check to make sure everything is securely connected.
I've gone through all the cables multiple times, and everything seems to be in place.
It sounds frustrating! One thing to check is whether the cooler might have become dislodged during the SSD installation. Sometimes this can lead to overheating, which causes shutdowns. You might want to take a look at it just to be safe.
I didn't touch the cooler at all when I installed the SSD, so I’m not sure if that’s the issue.
I’ve already tried that, and the shutdowns still keep happening without the new SSD.
