Default Intermittent power off while im idling
My computer will just randomly power off at any given time. Nothing is over heating (GFX is around 35C, same with CPU) and I have fans cooling my chipset and ram. This started to happen once I put my parts in my case, (It was sitting on the mobo box before.) but I even checked if anything was making a short and nothing is. Hopefully now that I set everything back to stock it will stop crapping out. This is really pissing me off.

It could be the mobo as well, but revert to stock settings and see if it still happens first.

It's either my gpu or psu. When I run a furmark stabilty test it shuts the pc off in a few seconds.

It's most likely your PSU, or something is shorting out (did you use risers to secure your motherboard?). It could also be the motherboard (NB or SB overheating,etc.), but that's doubtful.

sP00N, what kind of video card are you running? Your signature rig doesn't say what you have so I'm assuming this is onboard video? Are you running the OCZ OCZ600SXS? This power supply is way overkill and should be capable of powering your rig with no issues. You have almost 50 amps total on the 12volt rail which is more than enough. Do you have any temperature runnings set up in the bios that would make the machine shutdown? Does the machine shutdown while running Furmark with the everything out of the case on a non-static surface?

If you have a multimeter it probably wouldn't hurt to check out the rails (12volt, 3.3volt and 5volt) on the power supply. Make sure if they are within spec. I'd recommend checking the rails at idle and under load. Here is a guide that explains his process: http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/guide...ing-guide.html.

Let us know what you find out

Good luck
