Computer Issue.

[ELSknutson]

So a few months ago I built my custom water cooled system and after useing it for about a month it started shutting down randomly while playing games.  So I thought well maybe the budget corsair CX600 I was useing was not enough to drive an x99 build with a custom loop and a Titan X. So I went out a couple weeks ago during the 4th of July and got an EVGA GQ 1000W  PSU and put it in the system and everything seemed to run fine for about a week I could play games with out any issues like I had before. But last week I was playing a fallout 4 and about 15 min in the computer turned off again. I thought nothing of it becouse I live in Florida and I just assumed the power went out or something but then it did it again and again. Now I can not even start fallout or any came for that mater with out the system turning off. 

 

my only Idea is that it's the Motherboard because I purchased it Used off of eBay and when I got it one of the ram slots didn't work even after enabling XMP. 

 

So does anyone have any ideas?

what about temps?

 

and yea, it could be the mobo...

Well the CX600 was a bad choice to begin with on a rig like that. The EVGA PSU is soo much better than that CX. Since the mobo was listed as used, I would think it is the mobo that is causing problems.

I hope not becouse changing the board out is going to be a pain in the ass

I would not even bother with a USED condition mobo on eBay as you know one of the RAM slots did not work, I can assume that something else is wrong with the board too.

I'm going to move all my games over to a new SSD in case that's the problem and also put everything back to stock to see if that helps and if not I guess I will be redoing my custom loop again ( should have just left it red lol )

I should have returned the board after I found out the ram slot was bad. But I had all the tubes cut to length to fit that board and I needed the computer to run my Cad programs and virtual matchines. Baa 

 

 

I'll likely have end up getting one of these
