[Thelostone187]

Hello All i have had an issue ever since i got this board an ASUS Maximus ix code.

 so...back story i was super stoked to build my second ever gaming PC but my excitement quickly turned to horror as my system without warning and seemingly without cause starts to shut down under load so be a some what tech savvy person start trouble shooting.....months pass having lost hope I've been dealing with the shutdowns ever since. I have recently undertaken the battle again with little success, i have tried replacing my graphics card, testing my ram and each ram slot, replacing my power supply, testing my CPU with software.....Please for the love of god someone has to have information !! any and all information i can get to maybe resolve the issue would be fantastic 

sincerely a very frustrated PC owner

Full System specs please. But generally if your system shuts down under load and doesnt BSOD, its usually 1 of 2 things. The CPU is overheating, or the Power supply is bad. These are the 2 most common causes for computers to shut down under load.

Please remember to quote so I see your reply. 

 

When you say the system shuts down, does it just fully power off, or does it BSOD, (Blue Screen of Death) on you? If its shutting down, it could also be a grounding issue since you say the CPU doesnt overheat and the PSU was just replaced. I would recommend you taking the system 100% apart and re-installing everything and make sure you have nothing making contact with traces or anything on the board that shouldnt like a stand off, washer etc...

the system fully powers off i have to get up and hit the power button every time it shuts off also i should mention it only does this while gaming normal use its almost never shut off and will run for hours however if i am playing pugb or Rainbow 6 it,ll shut off. i have also had the graphics card sent back for RMA thinking that was the cause as well.

As far as taking the system 100% apart i have done this as well and no metal to board contact at all.

my one last question and this is at best a long shot could i possibly be a bad Q connector?

Its always a possibility. Since the board does have an on-board power switch, try removing the front panel connectors 100% and just use that and testing it out and see if you experience the same results.
