Just built a new pc with the following specs:
Intel i7 4790
Thermal Take NIC C5 cpu cooler
MSI z97 Sli krait edition
16 gb 1600 mhz ddr3 patriot viper 3 ram
PNY 240 gb CS2100 ssd
Nvidia gtx 780
Corsair 750 watt psu
Windows 8.1 64 bit
I put the computer together and installed windows 8.1 just fine. Booted it up, updated windows and drivers, then after it had been running for a while the screen froze while I was playing the Witcher 3. Audio continued but screen fully locked. I rebooted and the computer booted to UEFI shell. I exited UEFI shell and computer went to bios. Bios showed that I had no ssd drive plugged in. I reset bios and computer rebooted fine to windows. However after running the computer for a few hours the same thing happened. I repeated the above steps and computer ran for a few more hours and same thing AGAIN. Doesn't matter if I'm playing games, browsing the Internet or doing nothing at all, computer freezes after a while but audio continues (Netflix will literally keep playing a shows audio with a frozen screen), reboot, no ssd, reset bios, reboot, sign in to windows, be happy for a bit, computer crashes, proceed to rage, repeat over and over.
I've tried a clean install of windows 8.1, tried reinstalling all drivers and nothing helps. Does anyone have any ideas before I drop this pile of crap out my window?
