I have built a computer and it is shutting down randomly usually within a minute to half an hour. This problem not only persists when in windows, but also when not in windows (in the bios screen). After some time it just shuts down. I made sure to install the newest drivers on every component and the bios is of the newest version. I was reading the temperatures and they seem okay under stress (cpu 30-40 degrees and video card 35-40 degrees and the exhaust air is cold). All the cables are definitely plugged in properly and the memory are in quad channel and they are put in the right slots (even though I tried running this with only 1 stick I still had the same problem). The shutting down occurs out of the case as well when I ran it so I don't think anything is short circuiting the board. There are no beeps when the system POSTS. The windows event viewer shows only a critical error saying the system shutdown unexpectedly and gives 0's for all parameters with no information. I tried doing a memory dump when the system turns off but for some reason windows doesn't create the memory.dmp file. But I am not too concerned about that because it crashes when it is not in Windows so i do not think it is an OS issue. Using HW monitor and monitoring the bios the voltages seem correct on the rails. I can't run anything like memtest because the system just crashes. I have turned on and off xmp profile and the same problem occurs. I have also tried a setting on the motherboard which is supposed to increase stability of the memory for the cost of performance, but this didn't seem to work. I am stuck on what next to try.
