as far as im aware anyway, unless he purposely dropped the volts to compensate for the oc, but does not have the desired effect?
either way hes gonna need to dump the cooler.
As you can see, very un-helpful information…
that doesn’t say much
EDIT: changing the timings and voltage of the RAM didn’t help?
System saying it hasnt rebooted itself properly? do a comlpete power down, unplug from mains and flick the switch to drain what little juice there is, and plug back in (sounds so stupid and simple, but ive seen this work wonders.)
I am on the computer now, did not turn of so far…
good, hopefully that was the problem, otherwise I have no more ideas, except PSU.
yeah, though thatd be unlucky as most psu’s are usually solid 
I don’t feel like reading through the whole thread so just ignore this post if it’s been asked before.
- powersupply has a 80+ bronze rating or higher?
- if you didn’t buy XMP memory make sure to set memory timings and voltages in the BIOS to factory specs. Also change B2B timing to 6 or higher when using later model ASUS motherboards.
- memory sticks are supported by the motherboard (qualified vendor list)?
Your CPU temperatures seem high, I run an i7 overclocked to 3.4 GHz and I get 50% lower temperatures (using custom copper heatsink air cooling).
It could be:
PSU, Faulty Motherboard, Memory.
Right now I am testing the memory so far so good. If the computer still shuts off then I am going to assume it’s the PSU. IF that does not solve it then I will return the motherboard and request a new one.
try these:
go to here and in sturtup and recovery:
in system failure disaloud the automatic restart, in the brite debugging information put “complete memory dump”, and in dump file put some peace that you can remember.
save.
wheit to the next error happens and if it appears a blue screen, let the machine to make his job.
Then, if you have a x32 bit system download this: https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_x86_6.9.3.113.msi
if you have a x64 bit:
https://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols/debuggers/dbg_ia64_6.9.3.113.msi
install it.
and open it then put:
and open the file the file where do you save it.
then write !analyze -v and press enter as in here:

then
and here will appear your error:
tell me if it worked 
Mine kept on shutting down all the time, and rebooting itself, we eventually had the motherboard replaced and it worked completely fine.
Do what FranckN said, and hopefully you’ll discover what the problem is.
50ºC at idle is still VERY hot for a CPU with a thermal design of 72.7ºC (at that temperature the CPU starts throttling down or simply shuts itself off). Temps for the i7-860 should be around 30ºC and probably never going over 40ºC (idling).
Before you rule out overheating, I would recommend you to run OCCTor a similar app for a few minutes and see what kind of temperatures you get.
If it goes over 70ºC, you’ve probably got a problem (probably a cooler installation one. you really have to press hard on those springs), even if it’s not what’s causing the shutdowns.
Hubi, in all seriousness, try laying the computer on its side, mobo closest to the floor. A friend of mine had that case and mobo, and putting it on its side kept it from crashing. A manufacturing bug in a slot if that fixes it. Even though it’s an inconvenient fix if it works, it is the only fix other than a mobo swap (again, this is only if it works. If laying it on its side doesn’t work, some more info might help. I just saw the mobo and case and remembered what my friend back at college experienced).
BUT IF TURNING IT ON IT’S SIDE WORKS, go to the mobo manufacturer and tell them you have a faulty unit. It is almost certainly the mobo. (Again, I guarantee no results, the mobo company could claim it’s some other part not interfacing with it correctly, and direct you to them. Try not to let them)
And if they refuse to send you a replacement, try to live with your horizontal computer!*
*Again, this is all IF laying it on its side fixes the problem. Again, please, this is a serious suggestion, I’m not just trying to see if I can get you to flip your computer, it may work, but it may not, so please give it a try.
Stupid question, but have you checked for dust buildups? Are all of your parts correctly installed too?
I haven’t read the thread, so this might have been posted/blown out of the water already.
It’s a brand new build, I think
Hence the second part.
If you tested this power supply on another PC and it doesn’t shut down then I think it’s an issue with the motherboard, there is slim to no chance that you still have this problem after getting a new mobo.
Some pretty good suggestions so far, but it’s a bit hard to tell from all your posts (Hubi) what you’ve been able to test and/or rule out. Did you rule the memory out with an overnight of memtest86?
Your CPU is still running a bit hot. The i-series SHOULD have pretty good thermals at stock speeds, but it also helps to have a good HSF with quality, correctly-applied thermal paste. The application techniques vary (one rice-grain sized stripe, 3 rice-grain sized stripes, one pea-sized dot in the center, apply and spread with credit card, etc) but I usually go with the dot in the middle and let the HSF spread it out. With an AMD X2 6000+ stock clocked, Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 and Artic Silver 5 in a 80°F environment, my CPU sits around 39°C. That i7-860 should be a few degrees cooler than that, especially if you have a cooler environment.
Double check EVERY power cable in your system, especially those powering important components (24-pin motherboard, 8-pin CPU, 2x6-pin GPU) but also your drives. And double-check means unplug, blow in the socket, and reseat until it clicks.
Go through your BIOS and check for power management settings on the CPU and memory. First your CPU voltage was 1.16, the last screenshot is 1.09, that’s a bit much of a jump (if you didn’t adjust it yourself). Double and triple check your memory timings - a few years back, I had WEEKS of unpredictable hard-resetting, BSODS saying IRQ_LESS_OR_EQUAL (which is usually heat-related), and general shitty performance all because my uncle had overclocked my memory by FIVE MEGAHERTZ! It didn’t matter if I was gaming, writing a paper, watching a movie, or idling, it would just reset whenever it felt like it.
Also, using this here I roughly calculated your minimum PSU to require around 450 Watts, and that DOESN’T account for system load (which with your GPU and CPU can jump another few dozen watts, if not 100+). You could try swapping out the GPU for a less power-hungry model. And while we’re discussing power, are you running your system on a surge protector and/or UPS? Before I had my UPS, my system would sometimes hard-lock and/or hard-reset when my sister turned on her blow dryer. Especially now that it’s summer time, people are running their AC, the power companies are browning out the grid (in the US, anyway) - it’s crucial to have clean power via UPS or at least surge protected.
In short, here’s a summary of issues that cause random hard-resets:
- High temperatures
- Improper memory timings (under-or-overclocked, voltage, etc)
- Improperly seated power cables
- Not enough quality power delivered to the system (UPS or different PSU)
- Not enough power in general (remove GPU, try different PSU)
- IRQ Conflicts (in extreme cases, try removing all unnecessary hardware)
Keep us updated
Actually thinking about it I don’t think it is the power supply, considering the system usually fully boots up without a hitch.
Hubi, are you sure you didn’t scratch the motherboard with a screwdriver or something when installing any components? :fffuuu:
I’d check for minute scratches around the processor or the PCI ports, only other thing it could really be is a defective motherboard that needs replacing.
Good luck on your mission sir! 
He said in his last post that he changed the RAM stuff and so far it worked, so why do you all still suggest things that had been suggested more than once in this thread already?
