PC is shutting down randomly

[Tholmar]

I recently upgraded my case to a 570x, and when I rebuilt my entire system, I started to run into issues.

I have a clean install of windows on my SSD, and when windows loads, the computer is very slow and cannot run at native resolution 1440x1080

After about 3 minutes of run time, it completely shuts off, as if the power was cut.

If I turn it on after that and it only runs for a minute, it doesn't have the chance to boot windows.

 

I am running a i5 4690 for my processor

GTX 1070 for GPU

EVGA NEX 650 watt PSU

16gb DDR3 Kingston Memory

 

I do have a 960 and another cooler for the 4690 if you need any alternatives.

I have changed all of the cables from the power supply as a first precaution.

 

Please help, anything will be appreciated.

Check all the power cables, especially the main board power.
Edit, I see you have a nex 650. I had one of those which died on me after two years, horrid power supply.
Everytime I switch the psu on or off it would ark.

First, fire up some diagnostic tool like HWMonitor and check your temperatures.

If everything seems normal there, remove your psu from you case and let it "breathe" some fresh air.

If this doesn't change anything, remove everything from the case and run it outside of it. Since the 4690 has build in graphics you don't have to install the gpu for this test.

 

If none of the tests above eliminates the issue, you probably have a dead PSU or mainboard

I've double checked and even replaced cables, so I don't think it's a cable issue

I will try the latter, but it doesn't run long enough for me to get HWMonitor, or even run it

I wouldn't be surprised if that supply is dying on you, it really is bad.
Do you have access to another supply? Or one you can borrow from a friend?
Try jumping the 24 pin cable
Unplug everything and jump it, see if the psu stays on

3 Minutes are plenty

All jokes aside, you can load the *.exe portable version of HWMonitor on an usb stick (from another pc) to save some precious seconds and cool the room down to maybe get another minute of runtime (if it's an overheating issue).

Okay, sorry for lack of communication, I did the memory stick thing and saw my CPU hitting stupid temps and then the PC dying, so I changed coolers and it seems to be running fine, thanks for the help!
