System:
MSI Z87- G45 MB
16G ram
intel 46 40 k
corsair h80I
1000W Power supply

Question:
System randomly shuts off. Took me two days to load windows 8. checked all connections, checked ram, and checked power supply.

What did I miss?

Thank you,
 
Solution
Reset the BIOS to defaults too. What is the brand and model of the PSU?
You could have a RAM problem. Pull all but one stick. Once you get the OS installed, you can test your sticks individually with memtest86+.

Most resent divers installed. Using on board video to eliminate possible VGA card interference. Recently pulled all wires and resated them all, re-ran power supply cords and SATA wires. Still randomly shuts down. :( At my last wit

BIOS reset, PSU model unknown, purchased 4 years ago. Wont stay up long enough to do just about anything. Might be a PSU problem now that i think about it, but I dont have another one to test. The ram is brand new and could be the problem but doubt it, Windows 8 continuously getting corrupted because of all the crashes... re-installed windows 15 to 20 times in the past three day on multiple hard drives and multiple configurations.
Thanks for your help,
Will keep you informed of progress.
