I have had this mobo for about 7 months now and this problem has occurred twice now out of nowhere. The other night I came home from. work, my PC had been on all day and I entered a program and it just shut off. This happened to me a month or so ago as well, which I just unplugged everything and blew all the dust out and it worked fine until yesterday. Tonight, I thought it might be my cooler, so I took that apart and cleaned all of it out. Still having the problem. Anyway, the computer, when cool, will stay on for about 2 - 3 minutes. Long enough for me to open up CPUID HWmonitor, which is telling me that TEMPIN0 is at a normal temp, but TEMPIN1 and TEMPIN2 are reaching near 90 degrees C before it shuts off again. What do these values mean?

Has anyone else had this problem or know what it is? How can I fix it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your graphics card is likely overheating, or one of your system fans is failing. Check all of them and find which part is hottest to the touch after it shuts down.

I removed my graphics card and put it in my other computer, it seems to be working fine. I have a thermal gun, and it seems that the CPU is heating up to around 130 F while idle and within minutes of being turned on. The northbridge is around 120 F under the same circumstance. All fans are working properly as far as I can tell.

I have a liquid cooler. The thing is that it was clogged pretty good the other day. And I'm wondering if it was damaged because of it. The tubes are warm to the touch. Can they get damaged like that?

I found out what it was. My liquid cooler went out and was causing the sensor for the northbridge to read higher than it actually was. The CPU and NB are really close to each other on this board. I took off the liquid cooler and replaced it with the stock heatsink, and I am experiencing normal temperatures again.

Thanks everyone who responded

I know your question has already been answered, but, how does a liquid cooler get clogged?
