Computer freezes after 3 minutes

Recently I went through a move and since the movers came while I was at worked someone touched my workstation and now I'm having issues.

 

My machine will boot just fine no errors and then after about 3 minutes it feeezes. No matter if it is in the bios or the os this always happens. Initially it booted into the os but then turned off completely after 10 minutes. Not sure what could be causing this but thinking it's the mother board at this point

 

Specs off the top of my head

 

Asus z97-a 

i7 4790

Zotac gtx 960 4gb vram

4x crucial ballistic sport 8gb ram

Take the whole machine apart, and put it back together yourself.  Take it slow and blow out any slots that you can.  Also, make sure to check the voltages of everything.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
