So I have built a new computer.

The hardware are these:

MSI X99S SLI PLUS

8GB DDR4 Crucial Ballistix

Corsair RM850

Intel Core i7-5820K

2TB Seagate Desktop SSHD

CoolerMaster V8 GTS CPU Fan

TP-Link TL-WDN4800 WiFi Card

Graphics Card: NVidia GT610 or NVidia 9600GT

Yes, I know, my graphics cards are trash, I only use them for a short period though until I save for the GTX970 and more ram.

I in the beginning used the GT610 and then I changed it as I though it maybe had a problem but changing to 9600GT doesn't help.

I have Windows 10 Technical Preview installed and every time that I use the computer for installation of drivers, going to the Internet and more stuff that aren't at all too powerful, the PC suddenly or gets stuck and then restarts or restarts immediately in the middle of use.

I have also made an X pattern with the thermal paste that I think was maybe a little too much, although the temperatures never pass 40 Degrees Celcius, it's mostly around the 30's and 20's.

I don't know what to do and what could be the problem or hardware doing it.. Any help ?

Try replacing u'r power supply. If it doesn't help, it could be a mobo, but doesn't really seem that this is mobo's problem.

Also, are u wearing any sweater? Had same problems because of sweater & static electricity once.

Well it wasn't the power supply.

I don't know what it could be..

Check if all psu contacts are connected properly to your mobo.

Also you can try swapping ram sticks with each other.

Another reason could be in a 'broken' hdd sectors (but I don't think this is it), or even mobo itself.
