Well looking at that list I wouldn't try a 220 watt CPU on the bulk of the Asus listing they have, in fact not sure I'd even try running a 8350 in a few of them - check with Asus and be sure, it may well support it, they say yay or nay...If they say yes, might even ask why they don't have it on their list... Might be oversite or might be they don't want to deal with people running these things on the mobos....don't know.... It was interesting how they just popped on the market and NONE were sent out for prior review

Ok here is a quick update, i checked all the pc over again and it crashes for sure when i am in a game but also randomly in regular pc uses.

there is nothing in my pc that is not compatible with each other. i checked and rechecked all me configs and drivers tried different hard drives but i dont see what causes the crashes ( hard freeze and i have to force reset).

I managed to set the graphic card under 100 % load and it crashed sometimes and others not

not sure how to put the cpu under 100% load (8cores 4.7 5 ghz boost) pretty hard to do without a specific sofware. Could it be a cpu load related crash? no idea... not an expert.

Updated bios to latest version with ez flash feature (did not fix crash)

I cant see my secondary hard drive once os is installed allthough i can see it when intalling windows (no idea why) motherboard is fucked and causes the crashes?... no idea not an expert

32g of ram memory all the same numbers and compatible with MB. could it be that one of the stick is busted? dont think so and not sure what the output of that would be, could it cause crashes?

Could it be that applying more load to the 1200w PS causes a crash?

cpu overheat safety turn off has been investigated ... not the problem.

I really need help here guys, even a free cpu loading software would be appreciated or if someone have had similar experiences please let me know.

A few things you should try. First did have you checked the bios version that came stock on your mobo? there should be a print somewhere on the chip that says revision 1.01 or something of that nature. I believe at the time of this post 2101 or 2202 is the latest motherboard bios revision from asus. get yourself a thumb drive. format it FAT32 and go to the asus website down load their latest bios revision. then go to there utilities tab a few under the bios and find their renaming tool. combine the bios download and the rename utility into a single folder in your thumbdrive then run the utility this will format your bios for the mobo to read it. Next plug it into the back of your mobo next to the ROG button its the only usb that has a white tab in it. next turn off your computer but keep power plugged in and the ac power enabled to run into the board. next hit the rog button and hold it down for a few seconds it will start to blink. That is the bios flashing and updating your latest bios version. Once that is done there is a few other things to try. First remove all ram but one stick and insert it into the farthest slot from your cpu. after that try the one closest to your cpu. if that does not work, put your gpu in a different 16 pci slot. and try again. Last step to try remove the battery from your motherboard plug it back in and reinstall bios update. I had to do all of these steps to get mine to work. Mine ran through q code 99 66 and ae and would occasionally stop on F.F the very last thing you can try use a different pci plug into the gpu. What tipped me off that i had an issue was that my msi gtx 970 would light but the fans wouldnt spin. I eventually troubleshot mine to a bad cable on my rm750 psu and swapped it out. Most of the advice given to you was told to me by an asus technical support guy so good luck.
