Random system shut down

sounds like a bad power supply. put a psu that you know is good in it and see what it does.

I just put a new evga 500watt in it.

it could still be bad. ive had 2 bad units back to back before.

edit: those 500w evga units usually are not the best anyways.

alright, try doing this. leave the clocks at stock, set the cpu volts to 1.3v static. set the ram to 1.65v at stock speeds. these should be safe to run and report back if it keeps giving you trouble.
