I just recently had a new PC built. Here is a link for the specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/marcd455/saved/4bCd since the moment it was put together (about a week ago) it has been randomly shutting down without warning. After the bootup it can either last for hours or only 30 minutes or so. Any advice will help, if you have any questions ask and i will respond asap, thank you.

My guess is either a overheating CPU or a failing PSU. My guess is the PSU as the CX430w isn't a strong PSU and your rig is pulling around 300w (150 GPU + 95 CPU + 50 everything else) under load.. although it could be a poorly applied heatsink... Download HWmonitor and extend the motherboard tab and the CPU tab and take a screenshot

Now although it is possible to run your system on a 430W PSU, the recommended power for your GPU is 500W. Random shutdowns is a common symptom of either a dying or insufficient power supply. Do you have a different power supply you can try? One that meets the specs of your system? Obviously I can't be certain, but this is my first thought with your situation...

Hmm everything seems fine there. Play a game such as BF3 and then take a screen shot, if you leave it running it should show the maximum/minimum.... Although your VCore does seem very high...
