Having problems with new build.

[HiJynx]

Just want to say hi first - new to the forum.

So my son and I just got done with our build last night and seemed to be working fine. We were able to load Win 7 drivers, etc... and I started to do updates last night and it just shutdown on me. I can get it to boot into UEFI and was just watching the temps to make sure it wasn't shutting down because it got hot. But the temp before it turned off was below 40c. It will boot into Win 7 but just turns off.

So I have tried pulling the video card, and swapped the memory around but it makes no difference.

Maximus VII Hero (BIOS 1002)
i7-4790K
Corsair H100i
A-Data XPG V2 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400
Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 480GB
Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB DirectCU II x2 (only one installed at the moment)
SeaSonic Platinum 1000W

Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum!

Did you try clearing the CMOS? Also try with each 760 individually.
Could even be an SSD problem, check Mushkin's website for firmware updates.

Thanks for the reply - I did clear the CMOS and I only have one 760 installed at the moment. Would the SSD cause it to crash in the UEFI?

I just installed a new PSU without the SSD installed - ran for over 10 mins at low CPU temps and then it shutdown. I think it is the MOBO. Unless anyone else has any ideas - I am at a loss.

hows the CPU temp? it can be the pump, have your hand on the pump ( CPU side ) and feel if it vibrates.
if you can, use the onboard GPU and see if you get enny signals from that.

Well fingers crossed but it looks like the GPU. Pulled it and it has been up and running for over 20 mins now. Really weird I have never seen a video card cause a shutdown like that.

If you were to investigate the windows event viewer there might be a confirmation that it was the VGA that caused the shut down. And yes VGA can and often does just shut a system down if there is a critical fault present.
