I built my PC and it keeps crashing. If I walk away from my PC I come back to it powered off. Also it will power off in the bios screen too if I leave it on the bios screen for some time. Computer crashes when im using chrome as well, the sound will become all choppy and distorted on the speakers and the computer lags a lot. I have searched the web for hours and disabled C1E, C3, C6/C7, and EIST in the BIOS. Also updated my gigabyte motherboard to F9 bios. I have felt that I exhausted solutions and is now in dire need of help. The following are my specs, I spent good money and am very frustrated.


Samsung 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 250GB

Corsair CX500 80 Plus Bronze

Intel Core i7-4770K Processor - Quad Core, 8MB L3 Cache, 3.5GHz, 84W, Fan, Unlocked Multiplier, 1250 MHz Graphics Core Speed - BX80646I74770K

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD5H Motherboard

Kingston HyperX Blu 16GB DDR3 1600MHz Kit 2x8GB

Corsair Hydro Series H100

Hmm, out of curiosity what kind of temps are you seeing on your CPU? Also is this a recent thing where the PC had run fine for a while and now has this issue or are you on a completely new build? That memory should be fine (never had a issue with Kingston HyperX's in the past on gigabyte boards.) If you can, make sure you are using XMP Profile for your memory and make sure you are keeping your CPU cool. It sounds like either bad RAM or overheating. (I don't have a Haswell CPU so I am kinda useless past these ideas.)

Is it getting too hot? It'll shut itself down if it reaches critical temperatures. Is your H100 seated firmly against the CPU? Is the pump working? (should feel vibrations in the block and the pipes)
Do you have a PCIe graphics card? (you mentioned 1250 Mhz Graphics Core Speed but I'm not sure what you meant) If so, you could try removing it and see if your system is stable without it.
How old is your power supply? Maybe there's a fault in it. Do you have another you could try?

I'm by no means an expert at this kind of thing but after a good few years of fiddling (and breaking!) several PCs I know a few things to look out for. I've no doubt that someone else here will (if they haven't already) post a solution or some troubleshooting info that's more detailed than what I can come up with.
