Ever since I finish building my first gaming PC, I have been having problems with not only booting but also freezing and powering off. When I hit the power button on my PC it will turn on for 2 to 10 seconds and then it was shut off. Afterwards it will either continue to turn on and off and short 5 to 10 seconds or it will be what up I will get my post beep and then it will run fine for 5 to 20 minutes, then it will freeze and shut off. I have tried numerous things such as a new CPU fan, more heat sink glue, switching hard drives, checking video card, updating bios, and also updating general drivers for the PC. I have ran out of ideas and have no idea what's wrong with it. here are my specs:

Motherboard- ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS

Processor- Intel Core i3-3240 Ivy Bridge Dual-Core 3.4GHz LGA 1155 55W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i33240

Graphics card-GIGABYTE GV-N650OC-2GI GeForce GTX 650 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

RAM- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM

Hard drive- Western Digital RE3 WD1002FBYS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive (Certified by Dell) Bare Drive

Check CPU-Z in the memory tab and let us know the settings for the DRAM
