Hey guys! Sorry it took me so long to get back with you on this, but I took it into the shop and had them figure it out cause I was busy with school. It turns out that I had bought some expired thermal compound and the temps on the cpu was going crazy! They hooked me up with some fresh paste and everything is all good now! Thanks for your help! Maybe your tips will help someone else with similar symptoms!
So I will try and be as detailed as possible here, so forgive me for the wall of text lol! (specs at bottom)
About a little over month ago I picked up a new asus m5 a97 r2.0 board, because i wanted to fit more ram, and 16GBs of g.skill ram. I used the other components that I had in my old set up (CPU, GPU, drives and psu). Everything seemed to be going fine with it during the windows installation, and it even kept going long enough for me to install the drivers that came with the board, was well as chrome, and avast. Then I started to check for windows updates (I don't think it actually got to install any but i could be wrong as this first try was a month ago) and BAM! It powered off! It did not restart, it just flat out cut the power, no error or anything. I tried system restore just in case it was the drivers that came on the cd but nope! It kept shutting down...
I started to think that it could be some issue with the psu (in fact i think i had CONVINCED myself that that was exactly it cause i was using a 480W, so i really didn't google around that much), so I decided to get a better one and upgraded to a 730W raidmax and while i was waiting for that to come, I switched back to the old board and ram so that 1. I wouldnt be bored and 2. I could check to make sure that my parts still worked and yeah everything was fine and i kept using my old setup for several more weeks and it was all good.
So my new psu shows up and im all happy, thinking this would solve the issue..... WRONG! Same problem again! *sigh* so I googled around again and couldn't really find anything that exactly applied to me (most of the posts i ran across regarding this issue with this board were with people who were overclocking and i don't do that, in fact i really dont know a lot about it) so I tried updating the BIOS hoping for the best, but that didn't fix it either.
Its doing it like 5 - 10 mins after starting windows. Also, I doing know if this indicates anything, but i've been sitting here in the uefi BIOS screen for like an hour now and it has NOT powered down or anything. Not sure what that means but theres that!
