The solution to number 2 would be to replace the unit. It might be more difficult to figure out if that's actually the problem, as your computer shuts down to protect itself when it overheats, and when you restart, the pump may restart fine on its own as well. The corsair closed loop systems, while highly convenient are prone to fail just like any other part of your computer. You could always plug it into a PSU outside of your case and leave it running and monitor it constantly... if you're a man of extreme patience.
Thanks. I'll continue to monitor it and if I keep experiencing problems I'll go ahead and replace the unit.

Pump is starting to act up again today and due to the intermittent nature of the problem I agree with the above poster; I think the pump is just starting to go out randomly.
Does Corsair cover a replacement under warranty (if anyone knows)?
In either case, I'm looking at possible replacement coolers. I looked at the H100iGTX which seems to have reviewed well and would perfectly fit the 4 fan setup I have connected now to my H100i. But I was wondering what you guys would recommend? If anything, as far as overclocking goes, I'd use the built-in Intel system that might bump my 3770k up from 3.5 to 3.9, so overclocking isn't a factor. Would I be better off going with a fan cooler?
I used to use the Hyper 212 but had problems with that, noise especially, which is why I went with the H100i for this latest build. But I know there are plenty of other good fan coolers, like the Noctua, etc. Thoughts?
ETA: I mean the CPU is at 40 degrees right now, less than an hour ago it was between 55-60 and topped out at 90 degrees with The Witcher 3 running so there's definitely a problem and it seems like the pump going in and out is the most logical answer, right?
