So I bought my new system a week ago. Well kind of, I payed for it but the courier stoll half of it. (Im not sure if I am going to get it back or even my money back, So pissed) So I had to fill in the stollen parts with my old system,
My system
Z87-WS
Intel 4770k
4 sticks of Kingston 2gb ram 1333 (Stollen)
Nvidia GTX 560 (Stollen GTX 780)
Coolermaster 700Watt PSU (Stollen 1200Watt PSU)
1 1tb WD Cavier Black HDD (Both SSD's stollen again)
No case again (NZXT Phantom 820 Stollen)
Stock Intel Heat sink (Again H110 Closed loop taken)
Noctua NT-H1 Thermal paste. (Drops temps on stock cooler)
As you can see, I lost a few boxes, I burnt all my Birthday money and savings on this system and im stuck with old tech.
Anyway, The issue is my system keeps crashing. I have checked the ram, graphics card, PSU (Though the PSU dosent have enough 8pin PCIe power plugs for the mobo) I have everything set up to the T. Nothing is out of aline and so the system should run fine. In theory.
The system just keeps freezing up. No error on the mobo LED's, The GPU I have changed PCIe slots, Placed in other computers, all sorts. I have swapped HDD's, Installed Linux, Checked drivers. Updated Bios. Everything I can think of and yet it still crashes with ether Just a frozen screen or this Blue Screen. http://imgur.com/sfpEvYM I have done google searches but as some of you know, The Z87 is an uncommon Mobo, The only person I know who also has one is Logan and I only just found that out today.
The only things I can find is under load, The Northsouth bride gets to about 80 degrees which is within its limits and the CSU just touches 100 Degrees under prime 95. However it will crash under load and in idle. Im completly Lost as to what could it be. Unless its a Faulty CPU, However im already battling to get a responce from the courier and MWave about my goods that I ordered. A faulty CPU wont get through ether.
Any help guys? Logan maybe?
Edit, So it kept making popping sounds last night and thirmorning, I kept checking but could not work out if it was a componant or the case. I then tried to plug in a USB on the case. Didnt get power. I traced it and found this http://i.imgur.com/Sv1XXN4.jpg Hurra, I got a dud mobo and the Supplier refuses to replace it. Aparintly im not qualified to build a computer. Aparintly 10 years experience is not good enough.
Does anyopne have any experience with getting a Mobo replaced. This is just down right faulty. here in Australia, The asus site has no where to apply for a replacement and the people on the phone refuse to help with motherboards or gpu's.
