Ok, i will try to keep this as short as possible. But here is a history of whats been going on.
Got my new Pc built it, everything worked fine and i tried to OC it, well that was a nightmare. It would pass 8, 12, 18 hour runs on prime95. OCCT runs Intel Burn tests ect ect. But after passing these tests it started to crash when playing Diablo3 and listening to pandora. I was like WTF is going on.
I did some digging and apparently HW monitor can cause random crashes, ok i stop using that program Move my clock down to 4.1 retest using P95 27.7.1 pass 12 hour test. but since my last crash said it was a corrupted memory issue i then decided to run Memtest86. Ran that overnight and got the you pass no errors/warnings. Ok i thought everything is in line. Also, during the memtest i was searching around for what exactly my BSOD messages ment. I couldnt find anything tooo clear. The only same issue with all the codes i found a few posts on MS W7 forums saying Google Chrome can cause random crashes.
So i think ok, every single time it BSOD'd on me i was running pandora in Chrome and had HWM open. So i think, ok no more Chrome. I went and got MS developers tools bc it has a debug reader for my .dmp files. I go over all those and it was always HWM or Chrome. I now think, OK!!!! i win, those 2 programs are causing my issues. I went and OC my CPU to 4.4Ghz and played D3 listened to pandora with Opera and also kept WoW open for the entire time last night while playing D3 and everything else i was doing. No crashes or hiccups. I think everything is fine. And while at work i decide when i come home i will put my CPU through another 12hours of P95 27.7.1 and make sure it passes, it should it did before.
I come home all happy n whatnot i had a great day. I turn on my PC and none of the fans turn on, not a single one. I restart, UEFI check fan setting, all looks good, put the CPU back to stock setting, save. Start up, ANNNNDDDDD Windows fails to load, ARGH!!! still no fans. H100 silent, no fans running, pump not running, all 3 blue lights are on. but nothing.
So also while i was running my stress tests, i was using Aida64 and watching my voltages for V-droop. Rock solid at, well tbh i forget but it didnt change. At the moment i am on my wifes laptop as my PC does a windows recovery. I duno why its doing that either, it just started it last time i tried shutting it down bc no fans are on and i was going to do a hard restart(Shut down, wait 5min, start up) to see if that does anything.

Any idea? Is it my PSU thats faulty? If it was the PSU wouldnt i see V-droop during OC stressing?? Also, i have my voltage settings at stock for my 4.4OC and it has passed all those tests at that setting, so its safe to say that voltage is stable if it passed 8+hrs P95 27.7? Has the mobo taken a crap on me??? Im up against the 30 day return for newegg/NCIX so any and all idea and ways to tell whats what are welcome.
OH, i DO have a 2nd PSU but itys 5yrs old and from Cyberpower so i have no idea what wattage it puts out and the MB in there is LGA 775, so cant swap that either.
Thanks a bunch guys.
