Hello there community,

Recently, my new PC has been crashing on me (shutdown without warning (as if I cut off the power)). It has worked flawlessly for the last week. Restarting it only causes something like it's trying to write on my HDD, then it shuts down (this is a looping process). The CPU_LED light comes on on my MOBO though, wich would mean it doesn't recognize my processor, but then again, it would normally stay on. I've narrowed down some possibilities of what's causing this :

1 - My processor isn't tightly locked in place, wich would surprise me because I secured it properly when building it.

2 - My hydro cooler isn't cooling down the processor, but when I opened the pc up, it was still cool.

3 - My processor's got a bad case of the bent pins, which would mean i'd have to buy another soon.


Here are my specs, if it helps :
G.Skill Ripjaws 2 x 8Gb
Asus Sabertooth x79 (updated BIOS)
Intel i7 - 4930k (cooled by a H100i
Corsair HX 1050
Evga GTX780
Samsung 840<
Seagate Barracuda St2000DM001
Rosewill Rnx - N300X
