Why do you think that the motherboard is causing the shutdowns? You say its due to "overheating", unless you were OCing theres no reason for this to be the board.

Did you install the CPU yourself? If so you might have put the cooler on incorrectly. Did you use thermal paste? Even if you do think you put it on properly it is a good idea to reseat it if its overheating.

How do you know its overheating? Did you use a program? HW Monitor is good, and also Prime95 will stress the CPU so you can check its max temp.
