After 2 - 3 months my pc just randomly shut of and when i try to turn it on again it the red CPU led in my sabertooth 990fx r2,0 will turn on and the computer wont do anything.

I was playing some modded MC when this happened, note i also think the pc randomly restarted before the incident happened, (left for 10 min and when i was back it was at locked screen and all the programs i was using where gone, i dont know if it was windows update neither?

Current State
when i plugged it MoBo turns the green led that indicates it has power, i can connect my phone and it still charges.
When i turn it on, all fans that are connected directly from the psu turns on but those that are connected that are directly connected to the MoBo wont (heat sink fan and VGS fans. and it stays like this, also cpu temperature doesnt rise on my case temp checker

-PC-
MoBo = Asus sabertooth 990fx R2.0
CPU = Amd fx 8350
VGA = MSI GTX 660 OC gaming
PSU = Corsair CX600
RAM = Gskill Sniper 8gb
HDD = 500gb and 320gb
Heat sink = Cooler Master T80 (i think)

Ambient temperature = 30C - 32C

i think i still got chance to get a replacement, but i'm not currently in the US so i rather send just the defective piece, if there is no way i can fix it here.

i did read about 10 to 15 of those thread before posting this one, the thing is that most of them or all of them are about ppl who bought it and got the issue since the start, mine was working just fine. and then it broke down.

was hoping for a way to make it work back again

well it may have just took it longer to get there.. I hate to bad mouth asus but my last 3 boards from them were nothing but a headache and that last sabertooth I had done them in with me .. also my buddy and his son got one each and they all went in the trash there not the same asus we grew up with any more .. we took all the parts from off them sabers and put them on the new non asus boards and all worked 100% stable -- go figure

lol i remember reading those lines in one of those dozen of thread i read on this forums. Anyway which MoBo you using now? I picked the sabertooth bcz i heard it was one of the best for overclocking (planing to do some future over clocking when i get some water cooling system)

I went intel -- asrock myn buddy went gigabyte 990fx ud3 and his son went asrock 990fx extreme 9 I think

well my saber is collecting dust in its box in the closet right now alos we rma one of our boards to asus and after a bit of fuss they sent back what looked like a ''referb'' board that had its own issues .. it was like they just swap out the boards in the hopes you can get some ones trade in headache to work , sad

ya with all the partsa we spent on them and swaping things out all we found was the sabers teeth sunk deep in to our bill folds
