Shutdown under IBT with everything stock

Every time I run IntelBurnTest, even before it hits the first run, the system is turning off on its own, then starts up again.

I have no idea why. Everything in the BIOS is at default values (even cleared CMOS). CPU temperatures also perfectly fine (~50-55).

System
CPU: i7-4930K (H100i - Push/pull)
MB: RIVBE
MEM: 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum (CMD16GX3M4A1866C9) with XMP profile enabled: 9-10-9-27 @ 1.5V
GPU: MSI R9 290X Twin Frozr
PSU: SuperFlower Leadex 1000W 80+ Gold

What could possibly be up?

It sounds like a power problem but it could be something else. Without ruling the PSU out as being the problem I can't think of anything else other than making sure your CPU is properly seated in the socket and that your cooler is firmly screwed down.
 
Try re-seating the cpu and cooler, indeed sounds like a psu problem

EDIT:
Wait, that's not adding any info is it? Gah I have to read more carefully.

I don't understand how this would make a difference, especially if temps are fine. I'm far from an expert, but I believe if the CPU wasn't seated in its socket correctly, I would be having far bigger problems.
 
Try running the memory at 1333. If it all works then you know your ram is not so great. If it fails then take one out and try it at 1600mhz, passes then try the other.

If both pass then a very uncommon suggestion that has helped me in 3 different scenarios(I learned this recently on my own) is only use the power cables that came with the powersupply. Sounds silly since just about any cable can be used in a completely new PC but it did the trick for me. I thought I had 2 new dead PSUs but got the right cables and presto! both worked like they should.

I know it sounds a bit weird, but it sometimes works great. Also, it doesn't hurt, so why not give it a try? My i5 kept giving me BSOD's so I reseated it in its socket and everything worked like a charm again. It doesn't have to make sense ;)
 
It will just be a BIOS setting somewhere.

Id start by manually setting your memory rather than using XMP - that in itself can make changes to your BIOS you dont want. Note down the memory timings speed and volts (nothing else) then clear your bios and set the memory up.

Id put money on XMP changing one of the other volts doing this.

If I could kiss you I would! :rolleyes: Everything is great now. Cheers

Not used to entering timings myself, so I got help from a tutorial (I'm a complete newb).
 
Hope you mean this tutorial!



Very useful information and you really should learn as much as possible to help you later in the future.
