New build having issues :(

[gilljoy]

Hey all I just built the following new system:

intel i7 930 @ stock with stock heatsink
Gigabyte ga-x58-usb3
corsair ddr3 1600MHZ fan,
1tb samsung HDD, (from old build)
FSP everest 1010w PSU
ATI 4850 GPU (from old build)
LG sata Dual layer dvd writer.

I've been getting alot of issues with this in the past few days.

1. it wasnt recognisnig the RAM properly and when I set it to read from the SPD it wouldnt boot, got that fixed by reinstalling windows,

2. It doesnt like it if i try and set up a raid with a 2nd identicle HDD, windows installs but crashes on boot.

3. yesterday when i turned on the computer it wouldnt boot and gave me a warning along the lines of system cannot boot as Overclocking settings have caused the voltage to be too high, even though I havent overclocked the system at all.

4. turned it on today, booted to windows and it randomly turned off the system.

Any ideas what is causing these problems??

or any software I could use to find out? I've not build a new pc in years so im abit rusty

Does memtest pass? Does the system crash more quickly under load?

nope the system seems to power off completly at random,

for instance it worked fine yesterday all day, then last nite when i turned it on and started to download some patches it spazzed out and turned itself off.

when i tried to recreate this today nothing happned :S.

Memtest passes all 3 sticks after 3 runs.

Intel burn test passes 5 runs at maximum

ati tools works fine for half an hour with just the odd artifact.

The HDD's show up fine with their respected manufacturers tools.

makes me think its either the PSU or Mobo either of witch I cant really test using any tools.

just got the following message when I booted the system up.

The system failed to boot due to overclocking or voltage changes. Settings changed to last known settings.

I'm now pretty certain its the PSU as I've not overclocked at all I've just used the extreme memory proiler (X.M.P) to set all settings to the SPD defaults of the hardware.

The system has rest the ram from 1600mhz to 1066 mhz and the cpu isnt at its proper clock speed.

for some reason I now cant boot windows so reinstalling for thethird time this weekend.

Should I take the PSU down to the shop I bought it in or should I bring the whole system ( bought everything minus the GPU and one of the HDD's from their.

Try Memtest HCI and LinX

memtest passes fine, it just keeps randomly shutting down I do not like this one bit

Grab a multimeter and check the voltages on your PSU's rails (I don't trust the software monitoring to be accurate). If everything seems kosher, I'd suspect the mobo.

Check CPU temperatures. Maybe stock HSF isn't seated properly?

try one memory stick at a time and see if it shuts down
