I have built a new rig and I'm chuffed to bits except that I have a problem where the system just resets... The OS loads no problem, the CPU temp is at 30-40*C, I've swapped the PSU and I have removed the Graphics Card and still it resets after 10-20 mins even sitting idle. I have BIOS settings more or less normal (No OC)... Any Ideas, I'm losing hair fast!

Have you updated your BIOS to the latest version available?

My only guess is that there's some kind of BIOS incompatibility with that CPU.

The BIOS is dated June 2014 so I'm guessing it's compatible with the CPU. I did try a fresh install on a standard HDD and there were no problems, trying so eliminate the SSD as the culprit. Now I have swapped back over to the SSD and removed a couple of programs and run Ccleaner, it seems to work. But as it tried an SP update it brought upa box on reboot saying an ASUS temp file was missing and failed. I assume I deleted this file with Ccleaner... grrr.

Still early days, before I install any more, I shall format and start over once my new PSU is in so my GFX will run.
