Alright so quick update.

After a day of trying, I finally got a successful install of win 10.

Downloaded Doom and even woke up early to play before work.

A half hour in it crashed and restarted.

At work I realized I hadn't updated drivers. So I did that when I returned home. Played maybe and hour before my comp shut down.

Now... after letting it "cool" down. the (new) power button triggered no response. I flicked the PSU off and on then tried again.

Everything clicked on for about a second before turning back off.

If something's wrong I don't want to exacerbate it. But I'm at a total loss what it could be.

Halp?

Is this sorted out yet? Randomly times issues like that can be something not seated properly or you could have abad memory stick if its new. I was having a similar issue with blue screens and it was a loose sata cable on an ssd. The other cause of something liek this could be XMP memory settings in your bios. XMP is a fancy word for automatic overclocking but it can cause issues like you're having.

I'm taking it to a shop for them to deal with it.

I removed basically everything one by one until it was just the psu and mobo with no change in behavior.

I left everything in the bios on default as I hadn't gotten around the poking through that yet. and at this point I can't even access it.

Yea it sucks when things go wrong. I ended up with bad ram on my first build despite being told everything would work fine. I mean they refunded my money but if I waited for replacement ram it would have been 6 weeks turnaround since I ordered online. KInda tossing up if I pay the extra 100 this time around for them to put it together and the guaranteed 2 1 year working system build warranty that comes with it.

Yeah I hope it's not something simple like bad ram. I did go for budget on that. Unfortunately it's that build is the only ddr4 capable machine, so there's really no way I can test them. I did try removing them one by one and switching docking ports to no avail.

Hopefully it'll all be finished by the end of this weekend. $30 to make the computer work is worth it IMO.

I did leave a note requesting that its doom2016 capable without any unexpected issues. Hopefully tech guy will come through on that.
