Alright, I'm getting a very weird computer error.
After about ten minutes my computer turns off. There is no error message or anything. Everything just turns off.
I monitered the heat one of those times, and the GTX 470s heat was 44c, i5 750 was 32c, motherboard was 33c and the hard drive was 27c. So, I figure not a heat related issue.
Ran a ram test. No errors. CHKDSK found no errors.
Checked system events. The only critical warnings are because the computer suddenly shut off.
The only unusual thing I've been able to find is that in the BIOS under the power tab for the voltages it has: CPU [1.096V]
3.3V [3.392V]
5V [5.832V] (this one is red, all the other ones are blue. I assume this because it's out of the +-10% range. Does that mean faulty power supply?}
12V [12.264V]
It has been working for a month before this.
What could it be?

Did you adjust the RAM voltage in the BIOS prior to this issue? Let us know what you change in the BIOS so we have a better idea. I don't suspect its hardware related since you mentioned you been using it for a month and it sounds like its brand new, but then again you never know. I believe you tweak a value causing the unexpected shutdown.

I have not adjusted any voltages in the BIOS. I have not touched the bios since at least a week before it started randomly turning off.

This one?

Find the online forum, run by Asus.
Post there, with all your specs, and ask Asus for *their* recommendation, for voltage settings, etc.
I bet Corsair has one too.
Find it, and post there... same thing. Ask about ram settings, for that ram, in your exact motherboard.
See what Corsair recommends. (Hopefully it will be the same settings as Asus recommended)
Watch closely, to be sure you are getting a response from a company rep.

I used memtest86.
I do not think there is an issue with the RAM.
Those voltages are not for the RAM. I found them in the bios under Power/hardware monitor. The voltages do not change when I remove ram. Nor can I set the voltages to anything.

Ok.
Nor can I set the voltages to anything.
oh. Ok. I misunderstood then.

I'm not actually entirely sure what the voltages are indicative of.
