Hi,
I really have never had any issues with the PCs that I built. Everything was fine and dandy, stability and temperatures were not a problem. That is until I completed my current build:
MB: ASUS Rampage V Extreme
CPU: i7-5960x with the dedicated X99 EK waterblock
RAM: Corsair Dominator 8x8GB 3200MHz
GPU: GTX 1080 EK
PSU: Corsair AX1500i
SSD: Corsair MX300 1TB
At this point the PC is not even overclocked. Everything packed nicely in the Enthoo Primo with ~1m of thick EKWB radiators.
Here's the history of what I did with the PC:
1) Installed Windows 10 with a GTX 980 and a 512GB MX100 - everything worked fine-ish until the Windows installation decided it's time to engulf itself in flames - explorer stopped working and I had to Win+R everything. I had no issues with stability.
2) Bought a GTX1080, GT210, the new SSD and put everything in the PC. Installed Ubuntu Server and did a double PCI-E passthrough in Windows 10 VMs. Gave up when I noticed that Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro that I used for production of a live event didn't work with passthrough. Everything was stable-ish, ie. stuff did crash (VMs sometimes froze etc), but given the amount of hacks in place it was understandable.
3) Removed GTX980 and the 210, put the first one in a second PC that I built for LANs, installed Windows 10. Everything worked for a week, after that the PC started randomly shutting down. Updated the BIOS, checked all temps - the max I can get under stress on both 5960x and 1080 is 42C. PC still randomly shuts down for no reason, just reboots.
There is nothing in the system logs, no errors displayed in the BIOS. Just resets during which I lose all my currently opened work.
I am lost. I cannot think of any sources of informations that I could use for debugging the issue. This is my workstation and I want it to be as stable as 4x less expensive shitty mATX PC. Any ideas?
