Computer keeps crashing

So the other day my friend and I swapped my parts into a new tower and installed a Kraken x60 (cpu), x40 (gpu), and an i7-4820k on an ASUS Sabertooth x79. We got everything swapped over and now it continues to crash about 2 minutes after booting.

It will only boot into safe mode then crashes shortly after. If we go into the BIOS it will stay up a little bit longer but will eventually crash. The keyboard and mouse also drop in/out randomly. We've tried resetting the BIOS to defaults, resetting the mobo using the jumper, and checked the other parts to ensure they are working properly. We believe it's the mobo having gone bad and causing issues due to the fact it's crashing even in the BIOS.

Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions? I'm going to call ASUS tomorrow but figured I'd ask here and see what y'all think.
 
I can bet the farm that its because one of the AIO's arent installed right. I installed a h110 on my Evga gtx 780 FTW and made the same mistake. If you have time, look at your temps. Seems like computer is shutting itself off to protect itself.

Take a look and let us know.
 
Do you get a bsod error? Is the AIOs, processor, ram, gpu, and all power cables to those and their corresponding areas seated well? Try running it out of the case.
 
Silky, we hooked everything up the way the instructions said to. We made sure to piece it together and see how everything went before we actually assembled them. We actually installed the x40 on an EVGA 780 Ti. It's still all hooked up so he's going to pull his video card from his PC now and toss mine in and hook it up to make sure it's not the video card or the x40 causing it. I don't know why we didn't think of that the other day.

King, no BSOD, it just shuts off. Everything was seated well, we pulled it all and reseated them several times checking that and making sure it wasn't the connections or other parts that were bad.

What do y'all think would cause the keyboard and mouse to drop intermittently like it was?
 
Friend just finished swapping my card in his machine and hooking everything up and it's running perfect right now. Hooked up the exact same way it was in my machine so that rules the 780 and x40 out.
