Everything is crashing! Help!

[iamadragonborn]

Specs:

• i5 4690k @ 3.5ghz (Which i plan to overclock once i have found the solution to the problem)
• evga geforce gtx 760
• 8gb Ram
• corsair 600w psu
• 1 tb hard drive
• msi z87-g43 mobo
• h100i water cooler

I just built the computer above and it booted quick and windows loaded easily, however almost everything crashes like chrome, steam, games ect. Why is it doing this? I know the cpu isnt overheating as corsair link tells me it runs at 40°C on load and 30 °c when idle. I have also updated all drivers.

 

Thank you for any help!

Corsair link lies 99 percent of the time. Use speed fan.

How does it crash? Errors? or freezing up?

[iamadragonborn]

they crash in multiple ways:

• it just freezes and then crashes to desktop (games)
• message pops up saying ran out of memory (games)
• freezes then says ......... is not responding ( google chrome/steam/driver software)
