Ok, I did some research on this as I was heavily suspecting the Corsair AX-850W.
I mean the temps for my overclock were good and when I look at the Prime95 log it shows no errors, but for some reason the PC would just shut-down.
PSU was mentioned more often than not as the culprit and one person's advice ran true in my case.
He noted that if the system shuts off and then you need to turn off the PSU switch and then turn it back on before you can boot the PC, then it must be a faulty PSU.
That is exactly what I have to do. I run Prime95, leave and when I come back I always find the computer off, with the case led flashing. I can't boot the PC, before I turn off and then on the switch on the power supply. I did not expect this from Corsair, but everyone suffers a lemon once in a while no matter the company.
I phoned Canada Computers and they will be testing it tonight. I will report the results tomorrow.
See my build thread (in sig) for more details.
