Stumped on a problem here. Helped a friend built a machine, specs as follows:
Gigabyte H87N-WIFI
Core i5-4440 (stock voltage Auto)
G.Skill 8GB DDR3-1600 (set to run on XMPP 9-9-9-24, voltage set to Auto)
Crucial M500 240GB
Powercolor Radeon 5770 1GB
Western Digital (Black?) hard drive
DVD-RW Drive
Windows 7 Pro clean install
OCZ ModXStream 600W PS, then swapped for a Seasonic G650 650W
Initially I tested the machine it's fine, ran games and stayed on just fine. But after he brought it home, the machine seems to spontaneous restart when it's cold. It's not a BSOD since auto restart is set to off. Funny thing is, after the machine stays on for a while, it runs stable.
I tried replacing the PS after reading all the horror stories with the OCZ and running it down to bare minimals, but it's still restarting on cold. I'm trying now with two of my own DIMMs (G.Skill Sniper 2x8GB). Initially it won't take both, it will keep cycling on and off. Took one out, it started, did a BIOS reset, put the second one back in and now it runs. Going to try a few more power on cycles after shutting down.
Thoughts? Thanks.
