please help!!

okay so recently i have been having hard crashes (computer turns off) at first i thought it was my GPU dying, and my CPU over heating so i got a new card a 970 and a CPU cooler (YES WITH PASTE!) still got the crashes so i decided it is my psu so i got a new Cougar 800w 80+ gold 2 days ago, anyway my computer still crashes and i have no idea why I've tested older ram in the machine so that leaves me wondering is it my CPU or is it my mother broad 

PC SPECS 
CPU: i5 4690 
MOBO: asus z97-c
VID: GTX 970 Strix 4GB
RAM: 16GB hypermax 
HDD 1: WD BLUE 2TB 7200RPM
HDD2: WD BLUE 1TB 7200RPM
SSD: Intel (400?) 500GB
PSU: Cougar 800w 80+ gold

You should do a memtest x86 on that thing to make aure your ram isn't faulty in some way. Also, what kind of crashes are they? Like bsod? Or does the computer just randomly power down?

[cptmarko]

it's a complete shut down. I've tested some other RAM and it still crashes it skips the blue screen, completely the only error i get is the driver crashed and recovered, but like I've said i replaced my old card about 2 weeks ago, it happens when performing any heavy load ( 4x games editing/rendering) my cpu was over heating pier to the crashes (100C) but with my new cooler it doesnt achive anything above 52c. so yeah it's a little bit of a puzzler

You cpu might be damaged from overheating. But i also have a motherboard that will shut down completely if i plug a powerful gpu into it and run it at full load.

Might be a faulty psu, or bad caps on the motherboard. Look for leaking capacitors and if not, try another psu if at all possible.

yeah i have replaced the PSU just 2 days ago, i am proly just gonna get a new MOBO and cpu lol (there goes my 1080  )

Instead of buying parts at random until you fix the problem, you should figure out what is causing the problem first.

 

Like I said, look over the motherboard for a blown/leaky capicitor, if you have a friend with an lga 1150 motherboard, ask if you can test your cpu in his system (I seriously doubt it is the cpu, when those are dying you get bsods). What you are doing is blindly throwing money at the problem until it goes away.

perhaps, but as long as i play ignorant i get a new system.

Then just buy all new components

[cptmarko]

anyway all wife budget jokes aside, what am i looking for on the motherboard ? i've looked over the little cylinders on the board and looked for any burns or abnormalities but can't see anything wrong with it

1.Maybe your components are overheating way to much so they turn off for a break

2.Maybe be the psu but since you tested another one it probably isnt

3.Maybe CPU slowly dying or is corrupted

4.Maybe the CPU fell out of the socket which is very unlikely since if it did that it would not turn + i dont know how a CPU could fall of a socket

5.Motherboard

6.Maybe its just a lose cable which just randomly falls of so check that

7.Maybe its one of the Hard Drives 

 

Yes i say Maybe allot

Maybe your motherboard BIOS or something  else is corrupted so it starts and shuts off

maybe you do say maybe alot. things i know for sure 

NOT the PSU, the one i have in the system is brand new out of the box 
NOT the vid card brand new out of the box 

THINGS i am not sure about 

RAM i have tested older ram (same speed and nothing wrong with it) 

SSD this is a possibility but doubtful as it is only 6 months old 

D/ this is the oldest componat in the system, but only stores music and videos

it does not matter if the HDD is for porn if its corrupted your done...but i suggest trying to get like a 80gb drive transfer everything and see if it works and does not stop shutting down
