I have a PC that I have been trying to fix for 2 years I BEG FOR HELP
here are the specs
MOBO Asus ROG Maximus III Formula https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/MAXIMUS_III_FORMULA/
CPU I7 860
GPU AMD 6900 SERIES
RAM 4GB of Patriot Sector 5 ddr 3 1333
Okay so the issue is the PC will shut off randomly when idle searching web or watching movies etc... no BSOD no warning shut OFF like u pulled the plug...
So first thing I did was replace the PSU and was shocked it was still performing these random shut downs
then I bought a new HDD and after installing OS and thinking everything was good POOF shuts off again so I got MAD and left this PC aside for a few months
then I returned determined updated bios left PC idle in BIOS to see if it would shut down in BIOS randomly and the PC DID NOT SHUT OFF in BIOS so PSU is working atleast
So I decided to install Linux on a USB and run a os through USB so the PC seems to not shut off when using USB OS but the moment I try to COpy a file to or from HDD POOF.... this made me mad and i left the PC aside for a few more months...
here I AM TODAY trying to get this thing going for the last time I went online bought a PCIE Sata Controller Card thinking that the issue is with the On Board Sata controller
So i got the sata controller in got the windows 10 going installed gpu drivers everything was looking great I WAS HAPPY and then it happen POOF i am now mad again but this time I am asking for help
I have bought a new HDD and PSU also tested different RAM bought a pcie sata controller card updated all drivers/bios
all temps are great nothing is getting hot or failing when running prime95 and furmark
I can Repeat the issue buy transferring Large files to the HDD other then that it will randomly shut off
