See title... happens no matter if oc or stock, always fails after 2 hours almost on the dot. I assume bsod, however I come back to the standard 'windows recovered from error' message.

Not a temp issue, temps are solid across the board. Never had something fail at such an exact time, every time. I mean were talking like 20+ trials at just about every configuration, including stock, all failing after just about the exact same time. too close to be a coincidence.

Perhaps a Prime95 issue with ivy bridge-e? Any other program suggestions I could use to corroborate results or use as an alternate/equivalent stress program?

Thoughts??

I have considered this as well, however I am unsure because I would think a faulty PSU would not result in such a regular and consistent p95 failure time. It's so close to failing at almost exactly 2 hours every time that statistically it's highly unlikely that it's just a coincidence.

Can you offer any support for why a faulty PSU would cause such a regularly recurring issue?
