Hello,
I am running a computer I built in 2014. Specs:
480GB SSD
1 x 1TB internal HD
3 x 2tb external HD
NVIDIA GTX 970 or GTX 1080 (I have swapped both out trying to isolate problem) (Neither overclocked)
i7-4960X @ 360GHz (Not overclocked)
4 sticks of 8x DDR3 1600 ram
1200w Thermal Take PSU
About a month ago, the computer started shutting off randomly during gaming. I believe it has happened once while not gaming. What happens is always the same: Game stutters for half a second or so and either recovers completely or all 3 monitors go black, I can still hear sound for about 2 seconds, then lose sound and computer appears to shut off and is unresponsive.
I have monitored GPU temps. All normal. I have switched out RAM. Removed 2, tried again. Crash after a few hours. Removed other 2, put first two back in. Crash after a few hours.
I have monitored Temp on CPU. All are stable. No issues.
I have run Windows chkdsks on Hard drives with no issues found other than something about Bit wrong or something. One test finds that, when I tell windows to repair, it says no issues found. I installed 3rd party HD programs to check health. All say normal.
I have no idea what is happening, but it's so incredibly frustrating. I've never had problems before this. Can anyone offer suggestions?
