First, my specs, I just built this a few weeks ago, and this problem has been occurring since day 1:

GPU - ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Power - RAIDMAX RX-850AE 850W ATX12V v2.3 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified

Motherboard - ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

CPU - Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K

Memory (running 16gb) - CORSAIR Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory Model CMY16GX3M2A1866C9R (Red)

HDD/SSD - Seagate Momentus XT ST750LX003 750GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache 2.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Solid State Hybrid Drive -Bare Drive

And I updated drivers for everything, No changes

Basically, what is going on, is my PC will shut itself off/lose power it seems, and reboot itself a half second later. I have noticed that this happens faster/more frequently the more things I have running, especially with a game (and even more so when the settings on a game are turned up higher). For instance, FF-XIV I can have playing with nothing else going, and It will happen within 5-60 minutes depending on where I am/what's going on in-game..Other times, I can just have skype running, but if I open more than one tab on Chrome, It will happen within 30 seconds usually.

I notice I hear a sort of buzzing inside my tower, and the louder it gets, the sooner I know it will happen..It sounds as though it's my drive spinning but..It sounds pretty bad from what I'm used to hearing a drive sound like, and it sounds like it's coming more from the center of the build, rather the drive.


I'm clueless and this is beyond frustrating..Can SOMEONE please point me in the right direction as to what's going on? My connections all seem good as well..I'm at a loss.

Generally when you start having crashes as soon as you give your machine something to do comes up to two things:

Either you have a problem with cooling and the machine shuts itself down to protect itself. So basically i'd check the CPU heatsink & GPU FAN's.
So get like HW monitor or similar SW and check out your temps, if they are extraordinarily high, then that's your problem.

OR

Like in one of my systems, the powersupply went bad. So basically as soon as you start pulling more than the bare minimum from the PSU it craps out on you.

I have Three 240mm fans going, and Three 120's going (Exhaust and my two cpu fans) all going around 490-620rpm (according to my AI suite..But that also says that 2 out of my 4 case fan's are not even detected/spinning, which is clearly false)

And with all of that, HW Monitor is saying everything is sitting around 82f-85f, however, each cpu core is getting a reading of anywhere from 84f-125f max

EDIT: I'm also using this as a CPU cooler- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835709021
