I was going to say power supply but it looks like you have a 1200w corsair unit so i doubt it is that. Are they overheating?

no max temp low 50s im still thinking on the lines of power supply to when i done rebuild i broke the on off switch when filling loop maybe it damaged something else inside.
1200w is 18 months old and ive run it 24/7 could possibly be im not quite getting enough power due to degradation.

Any cpu overclock?

 

[LtMatt]

Sounds like a BSOD coming from an unstable overclock or unstable cpu, dram, timings etc.

atm the oc is a mild 4.2 /xmp

i do not get bsod shuts down restarts no errors.

only found out by looking in event viewer.

Try downclocking your RAM to 2400mhz, 2600mhz is a bit near the mark even for a 4930k.

If it works then look at tightening the timings, 2400mhz with tight timings can work better than 2600mhz with slack timings.

the ram is only at 2133 using xmp i was very disappointed in the purchase of this expensive ram and top motherboard for it to only reach 2133 in xmp. and as im a novice at oc i would have no idea how to oc the ram i thought it would run at the speed i purchased out of the box.

The higher the cpu overclock the more pressure it puts on the memory controller. The higher you overclock the cpu, the maximum the memory will clock to decreases
