I have replaced the motherboard and CPU after the old motherboard has died. Now PC is shutting down randomly (it doesn't depend on what sort of software I am running - could be working fine with Adobe Premiere and shut down while not in use at all).
The memory sticks and PSU are still old ones from previous build.
The specs:
- Motherboard: asus Z79-ar
- CPU Intel Core i7
- PSU 750W
- 4x2gb corsair dominator-gt memory sticks
It seems to be working without shutting down with one memory stick in it. Shuts off with any two.
When it shuts down, sometimes it doesn't restart - only the fans are blowing and I need to switch it off and then on in ~30 seconds.
Heating is not the problem - checked it - all fine.
Since something has killed my previous motherboard, don't want it to happen again, but not sure which module is the faulty one - memory or PSU?
Answer
The origin of the problem was in the faulty power supply, it consequently damaged first the mother board, then the RAM. After power supply was replaced, the problem was solved.
