Greetings guys i am fairly new at this kind of stuff. I have a second computer which is much stronger than the one i am trying to fix however i fear i am in over my head atm.
My computer is 980 extreme i7, Run of the mill cheap hitachi 2tb hd, asus 680 and my old motherboard died. After much messing around i found another board. Its a Asus Sabertooth x58. It just came with the board no manuals or drivers or cds. On first boot up the computer seemed to install everything by its self.
I am not getting any heat errors at all which is what i first thought it was.
The problems goes exactly like this i boot it up and it gets to start screen. I pick my user (so far everything normal) and it goes to the main screen and everything operates fine. After about 5 mins the whole computer shuts off and restarts.
I was thinking i need the driver install disk but i have no idea who to get it.
Any tips, suggestions and advice is more than welcome.
I have just come home and stayed awake a bit after a night shift and archeage is killing me with entertainment however i am at my wall so i will be sleeping for about 5 hour s after i post this.
Ty in advance tbh i love my old computer and its tearing me up that i have waited so long for parts and its still having issues.
