So, the never ending saga, that is this computer....
The SuperMicro C7Z87 motherboard, and the i7-4790K are not compatible. Changing the ring offset voltage "worked" in getting it "stable", but the computer would bluescreen every day, or more. We ended up swapping the motherboard out for an inexpensive ASUS B85M-G motherboard, and put the CPU on that, and everything was 100% stable, and working properly. I didn't even reinstall windows, just let it find the new drivers, and away we went.
The computer has been up for a week today... without issues. Supermicro will not admit that there is some incompatibility with the CPU, but I can 100% say there is something wrong.

And, again... SuperMicro is refusing to admit that there is an issue, and they want me to ship the board back to them, for further diagnostics... and, since I am in Canada, it costs me even more to ship it back to them... Not to mention, that they will "test it" and find no issues... 2 boards I've use (i RMA'd the first one), and both have the same issues... it can't just be me that has this issues.
