Hi all,

This is my second build, so I'm still a newbie. I've manage to put together following components:


  • MSI Z97 gaming 5 intel LGA1150
    Intel core i5 4690K
    ColerMaster Hyper 212 Evo (model RR-212E-16PK-R1)
    Corsair Vengeance Pro series DDR3 2400 Mhz (2x8GB)
    Corsair RM Series RM550 (CP-9020053-UK)
    Kingston 120 GB SSD (primary drive)
    Seagate ST1000DM003 3.5 inch 1TB (secondary drive)
    Windows 10 Pro 64 bit

I've used Artic cooling MX-4 thermal compound.

Everything worked just fine for 3 days and after that the system start restarting itself.

I didn't build my system for games (that's why I don't have a video card) so when it happened I was just browsing.
I didn't even overclocked my CPU (only memory part, to start working with 2400 Mhz). After restart I've checked the CPU temperature and I've saw that was between 45-50 C, which it's seemed to me too high with default settings in BIOS. In stress test temperature rise to 80C (steady at 80C)
That's why I've decided to re-apply thermal compound and check if my cooler was well mounted. (I've had used Arctic silver kit - remover and purifier)

Everything was "perfect" for about an hour, even CPU temperature dropped to 35C, but after that my system entered in a loop of start/stop and never past the BIOS.
Last night I've removed power source connector and I left it so. This morning, surprise, successful boot, I've even manage to log in Windows, but only lasted 10 min.

I don't know what to do, and any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, I've reset CMOS. I've took out every memory module and try separately every slot. Results are the same...loop start/stop.

I think the last code on mobo before restart was 67, but I'm not sure. I'll check again and come back with an answer.

Late edit: Just before restarting, on mobo display is showing 67 (most of the time), sometime 62 or 99

I've tried booting off usb stick with no SSD nor HDD attached (after I've clear the CMOS) but the system don't past the BIOS booting.
