New build, just finished building it and I installed Windows 10 and now it keeps randomly shutting off, whether it be in bios, Windows, doesn't matter. Specs are

 

ASUS P7H55

Intel Core i5-750

8GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM

EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

EVGA 500W PSU 80+

Western Digital Black 1TB

 

What could be the problem?

What are your CPU temperatures? Also what CPU cooler are you using?

Stock Cooler from Intel. I've never had a problem with it, also 33C.

When are the shutoffs happening? That temperature is idle, and depending on when it's happening, the CPU might be getting too hot. You did mention it occurring in the BIOS - how long does it take to shut off from there?

Same PSU just the 430w version. I know it can house the 1060 because I put it in there before my motherboard and cpu arrived 

If possible, I would try that power supply.

It did the same thing it still turns off randomly 

I'm thinking something is up with either the motherboard or the CPU. Where did you purchase the parts from?

Do you notice any damage on either the motherboard or CPU?
