System turning off under IntelBurnTest (everything stock)

Every time I run IntelBurn test, even before it hits the first run, the system is turning off on its own, then starts up again.

I have no idea why. Everything in the BIOS is at default values (even cleared CMOS). CPU temperatures also perfectly fine.

System
i7-4930K (H100i)
RIVBE
16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum
PSU: SuperFlower Leadex 1000W - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-009-SF&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2465

Could I possibly have a faulty PSU?
 
Sounds like not enough Vcore, or Faulty PSU to me. IBT causes a huge power draw from the PSU, even at stock the Vcore might be too low if it's not set to adaptive so it compensates properly.
 
Try turning off the surge protection in the hardware monitoring bios screen, it sounds like some sort of protection mechanism is being tripped to me.. could be PSU.
 
I believe I may have solved this. So I went into the BIOS, hit the XMP profile BUT set the voltage it set to Auto and it passed IntelBurnTest on a 40x run (I wanted to be sure it wasn't a fluke).

Odd.. considering it's the rated voltage for the ram (1.5V)
 
What memory is it you have exactly? so it sounds like a memory timing issue? or are you saying that 'Auto' sets voltage higher?

No, I'm saying I set the voltage to Auto from 1.5V (set by the profile)

Perhaps it was just a fluke that it passed. I've asked this same question on other forums, and the overall answer seems to be pointing at the a faulty/bad PSU. Not sure if I can be bother RMA'ing though :(

Do you get shutdowns in general usage? I'm not really a fan of gutting PC parts just because it fails on unrealistic benchmarks that you'd never experience in real usage.
 
make sure you install mobo drivers and never ever ever use defaults on a ROG board.

Research the settings for the chip and set them manually a reasonable amount under max (1.35v on vCore for example if the chip is anything like a 3820), especially the voltages…

Dial voltages back slowly on stock speed until it crashes. It important to know how competent your chip and imc is at low voltages. Then incrementally increase speed and voltages to understand the max speed and voltage combination. As some point volts will require a big jump to get an extra 125mhz, before this jump is your max unless you really know what your doing and are a serious over clocker pro. At this point it really is just for the fun.

Make sure you consider LLC settings while moving up the speed ranks, i'd suggest medium, or high if you have very good cooling in the case. Only go higher on LLC if you have active cooling of your VRMs, otherwise the system will throttle the CPU.

Also, don't OC memory and CPU at the same time until you know the best they can do individually, then try to harmonise the two together for the best setup you want.

Hope this drivel helps.

I can assure you that default settings on a ROG board could easily crash under load.

What voltage does Auto set? it could be that your memory is not stable at 1866mhz 1.5V (faulty) and Auto is overvolting it which could be bad for the memory controller in the long run. Have you tried running your memory at 1600mhz 1.5V and seeing if it is more stable?
