Hey!
First post here, so I'm not sure if this is the right category to post in since the source of my problem remains unknown, so I apologize in advance if it isn't.
Last week I got my brand new EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti and Corsair AX760 PSU and installed them. I then proceeded to install Windows 8 over my previous Windows 7 (home) installation. I was about to install the drivers to my new graphics card, when the computer suddenly shut down, as if I had pulled the power cord, and then restart itself. This kept happening, and most of the time I would not even make it to the login screen or the desktop.
I should probably also mention that I bought a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250gb KW earlier and transferred my OS to it. I never really used it because my old graphics card died, hence why I bought a new one.
I checked the event log, and found a bunch of Kernel-Power errors (code 41) which only tells me that power was unexpectedly lost. If valid, I also received a "System Files Integrity Check & Repair, Code 0x490" error while starting up Windows 7 in fail-safe mode. This was solved changing the boot priority in my BIOS (HDD to my SSD).
My specs are:
OS: Windows 8, 64-bit
GFX: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (3gb, PhysX, CUDA)
PSU: Corsair AX760 (760W capacity)
MOBO: ASUS Intel socket 1366 Core, P6T (it's old, but I'm pretty sure it is this one)
Processor: Intel Core I7 920 CPU 2.66GHz
RAM: 3x2gb 240 pins DIMM DDR3 RAM (1600MHz)
Disks: Samsung SSD 840 EVO and WesternDigital Raptor 300gb Sata (10000rpm)
After searching for a while, I suspect either the mobo is faulty/too old or the PSU is the problem. The latter seems unlikely since it is a brand new, good PSU with more than enough capacity. However, I could not find someone in the same situation as me and since I'm not a debugging/hardware expert, I thought I'd ask here because I do not know where to begin.
