---------------------------------------------------

So I know how to build computers, I have built three before I built this one.  I installed all the drivers after I finished, and started getting things set up.

When I was in the middle of doing that it just shut off.  Including the Power Supply.  The thing is I have tried three power supplies and it keeps crashing.  

Every time it does it randomly after I get in Windows 7, it is sometimes under 1 minute, or sometimes it will stay on for 5+ minutes.

It is not overheating either, I have checked the temperatures and they stay pretty cool.

 

Main Problem is the computer just shuts off without a warning.

in your system I'd throw out the extra memory and get an ssd. ITS SOO MUCH FASTER than more memory and with the money you save you could nearly get a 120GB ssd

My System Specs: (Short list) i7 4770k, GTX 780, many SSD's, a 2 TB HDD(deceased :( ), Corsair 650D. Full list: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kchriz6097/saved/8dh7YJ


Upgrade Plan: Acquire some Black Noctuas then add 16 or 32GB of 2133MHz memory

Actually I forgot to mention but I did get a PNY 240gb SSD but that I think came dead.  Won't show up in the BIOS.

In that case spend the extra money on a mechanical keyboard :P

It's most likely a ram problem as stated above.

 

I would try some different ram and see if the problems go away. If you dont have different ram then I would go into the bios and set the ram timings, etc and see if that clears it up. If not then you can try 1 stick at a time etc to try and find the fault.
