Solution
I've had multiple threads about it, but random shut downs. Completely random, my pc will be fine for a day or even two, then I get on for like a few hours another day, and poof. Turns off and takes numerous times to reboot. It's caused me to lose games, precious data I couldn't save before shut down, etc... I've tested my ssd,ram,bought a new psu,and my cpu temps are fine. I am almost 100% sure its my mobo. My headset is usb and connected to the mobo, and sometimes crackles or pops, one time it popped so hard it hurt my ear for a bit. My pc boot loops when I have to turn it on after it randomly shuts off. I found that when I go to shut down my pc, turning the psu switch in the back over night then turning it on works kinda. Idk if it does or not, but it feels like it does. Some minor bugs/errors caused were: When rebooting my pc after crash, it doesn't think dota is installed sometimes and have to verify it, it sometimes crashes a few minutes after reboot, and sometimes when I launch my pc the windows startup sound doesn't play, but when I restart it, it does play. Boot codes 9c and a2 pop up, but those have to do with usb port etc. Which leads me to believe that it is my mobo having issues. I need this mobo because I don't have the money to be blowing. Money is tight and I need my pc badly, so yeah. Any knowledge, help, or expertise is much appreciated

I'd almost suggest buying one new, from a store with a good return policy.
Here's a Z97 1150 socket for $130, brand new.

Exactly the same price as your ebay link once you include shipping.
If this fixes the issue, great...same price.
If it doesn't, return it and find the real issue.
