System Shuts Off randomly

trying to rememeber all I knew from my overclocking days years ago - Prime95 and the like. Running on smallest FFTs, 100% load, doesnt last long, am going to compare with 4th monitor and without and see if I can narrow that concern down

I hate problems like this, I did a build once and swapped everything out except the mobo.
Turned out is was the board that was causing the fault.

Changed it and problem went away.

Yes sadly sounding like a motherboard issue.

I would take the whole system apart and rebuild it outside the case and totally redo all thermal paste on the cpu and gpu too. Just to totally rule out heat issues and by building it outside the case ruling out any shorts to the case too and reseat all components from ram to cables to sata cables etc.
 
update - worked without a problem with 4th monitor off, then tried again with 4th monitor on and it shut off during the 1st game, any ideas what could cause it?

But - it fails in Prime95 before 5 mins running on any test but the temps dont seem to get excessive - will take apart over the weekend and re-do the thermal paste on the CPU and see if that helps at all.

Which thermal paste should I buy - dont recognise any of them anymore?
