New Computer Crashing Without Explanation

[Fabbaz]

Hey!
This might be a little bit tricky, but here we go. In may I bought components for a new computer, a few weeks afterwards it starts crashing! What happens when it crashes, is that everything goes smoothly, no warnings of anything, and poof, it's all black; and then it starts again. The time in between crashes can wary, once it even could withstand a whole day! But in the morning it crashed again. Some times, it would even crash at boot.

MY COMPUTER-SPECIFICATIONS ARE:

BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX

ASUS Maximus VI Impact, Socket-1150
mini-ITX

Intel Core i5-4670K

Kingston DDR3 HyperX blu 1600MHz 16GB

Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5

Seagate® Desktop SSHD 1TB

Corsair CX 750W PSU

2x AOC 27" LED E2752VQ and one E2752V set up in Eyefinity

WHAT I HAVE DONE:

Replaced the harddrive, replaced the graphics-card, re-installed RAM and CPU-fan, scanned for viruses, cleaned Registry, updated with Windows Update, troubleshooted with Command Prompt, tried to find the problem through a Dump-file (which didn't work, since it's not a Bluescreen, just a crash).

This is, as you can tell, truly annoying. This was my first time building my own, personal computer after using computers from 2009 (this Alienware 11x I'm currently using is still good to go) to run videogames. It would seriously been a dream come true, with all this money and time that I have spent on it, only to see it not working.

I'm begging for help! Thank you!

Greetings, Fabian

If they were BSOD Stop error codes you could run then thru BCV ?

What does event viewer say happened ? Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Event Viewer / Windows Logs / System log

 

[geofelt]

stress test your ram with memtest96+. you should get NO errors for several passes.

If you have overclocked, reset to unoverclocked defaults.

Here's a log from Crash to Reboot of all the events:

Error

The previous system shutdown at 23:32:32 on ‎15.‎08.‎2014 was unexpected.

Information: Microsoft (R) Windows (R) 6.03. 9600 Multiprocessor Free.

Information: The Event log service was started.

Information: The system uptime is 18 seconds.

Information: File System Filter 'Avgmfx64' (6.1, ‎2014‎-‎06‎-‎17T16:06:17.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.

Information: Volume C: (\Device\HarddiskVolume2) is healthy. No action is needed.

Information: File System Filter 'npsvctrig' (6.3, ‎2013‎-‎08‎-‎22T13:38:22.000000000Z) has successfully loaded and registered with Filter Manager.

Critical

The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Information: The UMDF reflector was unable to complete startup because the WUDFPf service was not found. This service may be started later during boot, at which point Windows will attempt to start the device again.

Warning

The driver \Driver\WUDFRd failed to load for the device ACPI\PNP0A0A\2&daba3ff&2. (Don't know if this one has to do anything with it though.)

Hopefully this tells you something, thanks again.

Ehhh, something rather important: the PSU you can see I'm using, wasn't really made for gaming, and the PC, including two of the monitors plus a lamp: are connected to a powerhub which is connected to a powerhub with my laptop, the third monitor and two lamps... Can plugging the components "closer" to the wall-output be a good idea? Since I saw some related threads about power-loss.

 

[JackNaylorPE]

Yes, was gonna mention the PSU if event viewer didn't show anything....and yes, you have two much crap on a single circuit.

Have any tips, what to do? Would it simply help to put the monitors and PC on a powerhub that is directly plugged into the wall?

 

[JackNaylorPE]

I'd put the puter / monitor on one circuit and all the rest on another..... note....several outlets can be on same circuit.

Okay! I plugged only one powerhub into the wall in which I plugged in the three monitors and computer. As usual, it was functional - for perhaps, an hour, and then it crashed again. So I plugged the computer out, and searched for signs of overheat; the ASUS Maximus Impact Power-card was flaming hot! So again, this has some affilliation with the powe-problem. Hopefully I haven't fried it.

Was about to ask, whats your temps? I mean anything over 100F/37C may feel really hot to the touch but isn't always a bad thing.

My CPU is at around 40 Celcius at boot/surfing, the GPU is at 33 when using the browser, and the motherboard is at around 35 - 40 at boot.

1. Open HWiNFO64 (Sensors only)
2. Run the RoG Benchmark, record Core max temps and Vcore voltages
3. Run Furmark, record GPU, VRAM and VRM temps

[strike]Ehm, this might sound silly but; I believe installing the components of the disc that came with the motherboard may have fixed it. I'm not sure though, so keep it coming.[/strike]

Nope, it keeps coming.

 

[Fabbaz]

[strike]Temp2 and Temp5 at the Nuvoton NCT6791D-thingy are reading the highest temperature of 73 degrees Celsius. Everything else is at 36 to 56 degrees pretty much.[/strike]

The temperatures looks fine to me, they don't seem to hot. Anything else I should look for in this magnificent program?

 

[Viking2121]

To me, it sounds like an issue with RAM. If you ran the memtest, How long did you run it, I seen bad memory not error out till over an hour into the test.

If you think its a PSU, you could try another 1.

 

[Viking2121]

My CPU-usage is reaching to 40% and sometimes even 80% when I'm at the desktop! Is it supposed to be like that? And by the way, the whole past week, the computer only crashed twice! And I've reconstructed it.

Depends, at Idle? No it shouldn't, definitely not on a i5 4670k. If your seeing 80% CPU usage doing nothing, Look at Task manager and in the processes and see whats using all of the CPU, Though Pay no mind to the System Idle Process as that says the cpu is at 99% but really isn't.

Also do you have an anti virus the runs int he background? or security programs?

 

[Fabbaz]

Okay people; the problem is most likely the power-supply. It's probably the most obvious answer to this sympthom; un-expected powerloss.
So I have tried to move the computer including one monitor to a different location in my house. It has functioned for about four hours before crashing. But it can't be the "house-power", since I live in a modern norwegian household.
