So i have a new build.

msi z97 g45
4790k
16gb 2133 vengeance cosair
1kw dark pro 10 psu
h100i cooler
Fresh windows 8.1 install on a new 120gb 460vertex ocz
asus 290

The Issue:
When i boot the pc up from a full shutdown over night etc, so come the morning i turn it on.
Within 10-15 minutes for no reason the pc will power cycle, full power loss and all thats in the event viewer is "kernel-power" loss which is normal, nothing else.

But, then it reboots and is perfect for the entire day until i shutdown for the night and come to do the same thing tomorrow etc.
I could be browsing the web, playing a game, doing anything in those 10 mins or so and it would still do it.

What ive done so far:
CL1 disabled via bios
bios updated
auto shutdown disabled via system options under os
different voltages, auto voltages [doesnt matter if cpu set at 1.3v or auto etc]
temp monitoring, cpu only hits 85 when i render, even gaming etc doesnt get above 65
gpu hits prob 60ish give or take also, and max ive had it at atm is 70 when rendering also

All i can think of, its as if something hidden is running a update/script and causing it to crash - but ive disabled everything i can think of that runs auto updates.

Im bamboozled here, i doubt very much that its any of the hardware but i guess it could be.

There's litually nothing in the event viewer either to help me pinpoint whats going on, which is the absolute kicker.

Any help, advice, anything would be greatly appreciated.
Im going bonkers here.

Update: i think i've finally got it working ...... touch wood

So basically i ran memtest86 to make sure the ram wasnt dodgy and it wasnt, but with MSI boards there is a function "memory try it" which will clock/set your ram to run at set cl speeds. Or atleast this board has this feature.

Well before, whenever i took XMP off etc, it wouldnt boot and so forth but along with disabling XMP, setting "memory try it" to cl11 it now seems to all be "working" and im posting this, after the usual 10minutes marker.

If this has fixed it, then i hope to god someone else see's this post and solves this issue aswell as its already fried one of my hdd's and caused me a week of a headache.

im sure i tried the above combo many times but you get to a...

Have you tried picking it apart and reassemble it again, and or running it with minimum peripherals? Have you tried turning the Power and Reset Switch from the case around? By that I do not mean switching places between them, just rotate the plus and minus on the wires.

Ill try the power one, i know i did the reset one.
Ive picked the hdd's apart and fans also from it, had everything out and re-inserted along with the power/cabling etc
>.<


Nothing, absolute zero - after that first 10mins of the first post boot/power failure the pc is fine and dandy as if nothing was even wrong in the first place.

Things to try. If any of them makes your system stable then you know where the fault is.

1. Make sure the gfx card is seated properly. Try moving it to another slot.

2. Remove the gfx card and use the built in graphics instead.

3. Try using just one RAM stick. Test all of them like this.

4. Do you have access to another PSU? Try swapping it for another one. (Even thought the PSU is a quality brand it may have a fault)

im sure i tried the above combo many times but you get to a point you forget what youve disabled or enabled in bios and tried, but turning memory try it off and putting xmp on, it doesnt boot .......... logic


one thing to add aswell that i forgot to put in the op
is that, turbo boost was disabled in bios also
