Okay so I just finished building my new ddr4 build.
I used these:
Gigabyte H110M-S2H Micro ATX motherboard
Intel i5 Skylake 3.2 locked CPU
Corsair 850watt power supply non modular
Pny anarchy 16gig (8gb x2) RAM
No GPU
Seagate 7200rpm 1tb HDD
Windows 10 64-bit
Now some information about the problem.
My computer was shutting down randomly maybe 3-7hrs after use since build. Now it's more like 10-20 minutes. It simply sometimes makes what I refer to as a power down noise and turns black.
Now I have used this PSU without problem in my previous builds and do not feel that my new build would use 850watts without a GPU on a micro ATX board.
That being said, last night my computer had a Bootmngr is missing error and I had to reinstall windows.
All of this has led me to two conclusions. First, since the 1TB HDD is a couple (not many, and really underused) years old, it might have now started failing. I had windows vista on it prior to repartitioning it to Windows 10 with the new build.
Next. Some will say is the heatsink properly connected? Well this is my first time with Intel so I believe it is. What I did was I seen thermal paste was already on the heatsink, so simply placed it in place and pushed each pin down until I heard a click. I did not spread the thermal paste. To m, it feels solid and all of the pins look secure looking at the back.
This leads me to what I fear: Either the motherboard or CPU itself. I have watched the CPU at idle and it seems to run at 39-30 degrees Celsius. Seems normal enough. It has no of been processing anything I throw at it including world of Warcraft and yadifx2 video interlacing. So I think it may be the motherboard.
Any thought or suggestions I would greatly appreciate. Since the motherboard is just a micro ATX and was not expensive, I have no problem replacing it if you experts feel that is the true cause. However, I don't have money to keep buying new processors and such as I still would like to add an ssd and gpu to this build and that adds up quickly.
Thanks.
