After installing my new motherboard my computer ran perfectly till i loaded up a game and after a few minutes it crashed. I then proceeded to attempt to turn it back on and it would start to boot up but after about 3 seconds it would crash again. I then reinstalled my old motherboard and the computer booted up and ran fine. I have asked for a replacement as I think it must have been a faulty motherboard but I wanted to check if it was caused by something else just encase it happens again.
Please advise if you can.

My Pc specks are as follows
Gpu - gigabyte 3 fan gtx 760

Cpu - AMD fx 8350 4 ghz (the reason i upgraded my motherboard was to get this running better, it was running at 2.81 ghz on my old motherboard)

Old Motherboard - gigabyte 78lmt-s2p

New Motherboard - gigabyte 970a-DS3p

16 GB of ram (though I doubt that matters)

Psu - Corsair 750W

250 GB SSD

1tb HDD
