Posted December 30, 201211 yr FPCH Admin Hi My PC (which is only 5 days old) has had some issues since I first booted it up. It likes to either lock up or completely shut down and restart on its own. It does this at random times, never when I am actively making inputs (like say during a game) but it shut down when I was watching a 6 minute YouTube video. My drivers for my GTX 680 are up to date (310.70), and my Gigabyte X79-UP4 board has its Audio, Chipset, LAN, and USB drivers updated. I have install every update on Windows 8 to date. I also ran tests on my HDD and RAM and those tests showed nothing bad. I don't know what to do to fix this except try to downgrade to Windows 7. If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it, and I'll add additional details as necessary. My specs are: Intel Core i7-3820 Quad-core 3.60GHz Nvidia Geforce GTX 680 2GB Corsair Vengeance 32GB DDR3 RAM 2TB SATA-III 6GB/s HDD GIGABYTE X79-UP4 Intel X79 Chipset Quad Channel DDR3 ATX Mainboard View the full article Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
