Okay so, having some major problems with my Sabertooth 990fx, it started last week when my PC was just completely shutting down even while idling, thought it was PSU problem. Tried with new PSU and my crashes still occur, it's crashes now after about 15 seconds after boot up, but I am able to POST and get into BIOS and change some things but I have to be fast about it. I've done multiple CMOS resets by jumper and battery, it helps a little but still crashes. Yesterday I was playing games all day but I woke up to it shut down and now it just shuts down quite quickly even after a reset. RAM checked out okay and so did CPU and everything else, I haven't tried breadboarding and I don't have a mobo speaker but I do get red LEDs on the mobo before shutting down which don't really help.
I already ordered a new mobo but I'd like to understand the problem of the crashes, if it boots up and gets passed POST and I can get into BIOS, what could be the problem? There hasn't been any new hardware changes and the crashes seemed to come from nowhere, I was running my AMD 8350 overclocked at 4.5Ghz with temps no greater than about 50c and never experienced instability at these speeds with my voltage at v1.5. Anyone got a clue what happened?
