New PC Issue

[Neil-UKWSD]

Hi,

I've just built two identical systems around the following spec and having issues with one of the systems:-

Intel i7 2600K
Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
Asus GeForce GTX 580 DirectCU II 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
8GB Corsair DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1600C9)
Corsair AX850 PSU
Corsair 600T White
Corsair H80
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
Intel 510 Series 120GB SSD
Logitech G510 Keyboard
Logitech G700 Mouse

The system with issues appears to loose power to the USB as the screen on the Keyboard goes off randomly, however tonight the system has done this whilst running the Direct X installer as part of the Rift installer showing the system has actually frozen up as the installer locks up.

I'm at a loss as to what is wrong with this system, there are no over clocks in place and I have tried a windows reinstall several times now, system seems to work fine for a while then this happens.

I also seem to get a Windows Explorer has stopped responding error when trying to access Windows Update the first time on a reboot.

Any suggestions on what I should look at to try and troubleshoot this issue greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Think I have identified the issue to be a faulty PSU, swapped out for a spare HX850 and so far no issues.

Guess it's time to RMA the AX850.

Dunno, make sure it's not a fluke, some dodgy connector or unseated cable on the PSU, not the memory or something harder to track down. Costly RMA.

Hi,

I've ran memtest to check the RAM which all completed with no errors, I've had the system running on the spare PSU last night for a few hours and again since 9am today and so far no issues.
