Problem description: I have recently built a new Haswell rig and facing random shutdowns on a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. It has occurred 3 times since installation. It just crashes randomly, sometimes idling or during light web browsing, sometimes when in games or watching avi files. Here is an event viewer screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/Au3KRVE.png. I am suspecting a PSU or heating issue. But I'm not sure which. Am kinda bummed out considering everything is new and I did drop a decent amount of money into the machine.
Attempted fixes: I have checked and monitored temperatures and everything appear to be a-ok. See: http://i.imgur.com/TAjz3IA.png. I have also run MemTest for 2-3hours to verify that the ram is working fine. I also ran Aida64 stability test and the Haswell chip temps shot up to 90~ degrees after 1min of testing, is this normal? Also ran CrystalDiskInfo to check drives health, and everything looks normal.
Edit: I have checked the Intel stock cooler, and it is pretty snug, also removed the side panel behind the mobo to check whether the 4 plastic pins are properly inserted into the holes. I am running a Corsair 200R casing, with 1 stock intake fan at the front, 1 stock rear exhaust and 1 Antec 120mm fan exhaust at the top.
Recent changes: It's a pretty new machine, so probably latest drivers, etc.
