Computer Shutdown

[TacticTerror]

I just built a new rig with a 4770k, ax1200i, 2x msi gtx 780 oc, maximus vi formula, 16gb 1866 dominator platinum and an intel 520 256gb ssd (Windows 7) and I was planning on watercooling everything but it seems that an issue has come up. Without notice, my system will shut down with no error or blue screen and the power supply will stop providing stable power (it shuts off and turns on continuously until I shut it off with the switch) basically it doesn't stay on long enough to post. The only way to get it to post and load windows again is to shut it off and wait for a few seconds, then turn it back on again. I was wondering if this might be a faulty power supply? I don't think it is temperatures because I have told the bios to not preform temperature safety shutdowns and I have also forced a max clock of 3.5 ghz on the cpu (I am currently running stock cooler however). Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try a different power supply to see if the issue persists. There is also a possibility it is the motherboard, but it doesn't hurt to double check all the cables and connectors, ram, and wall socket

Alright, let the troubleshooting begin!

 

1. Are you sure you mounted that CPU cooler correctly?

[TacticTerror]

I am pretty sure. Right now I am running prime 95 fft and futuremark at the same time and my cpu temps are at 73C (it has been running for about 10 min now)

I also replaced the thermal compound with Arctic Silver 5

Like I said, I don't think it is CPU temps, but I hope it somehow is.

At what temperature does the 4770k shut off at?

I just had another shutdown. Next time one happens, I will record a video of exactly what happens. Also, on the shutdown that just occurred, the PSU only cycled on and off like 5 or 6 times and then it posted on its own.

Welp... ran Prime95 fft and Unigine Heaven IV for an 1h:20m without a crash so idk what it could be.
