I bought this mobo in Nov 2009, never installed it until sometime in Mar 2010....Mobo works perfectly with win7 ultimate and was always on until a couple of weeks later I noticed it would restart whether or not it is being used at the time and would work seamlessly thereafter... then it starts to restart before POST is complete,(lost a hard-drive -Seagate ST400832AS- hard-drive could not be detected in another PC)....I put away the mobo until Feb 2011 when I needed a mobo for an emergency situation....the mobo worked OK until a week or two ago when it started its routine again..... I removed dust from fan and heat-sink assembly, mobo worked OK until yesterday it started to reboot before POST is complete....Before cleaning the fan and heat-sink assembly, in BIOS under HW monitor i saw the CPU temp went up to
76 C before restarting....after cleaning the temp hovered around 44 C - 48 C . Now it's rebooting with the temp between 48 C and 56 C....Oh BTW I live in the Tropics (Jamaica), my ambient temp is somewhere around 28C and 30C at this time of the year. I have all the latest drivers for the board installed, there are no other peripherals installed. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. sorry for the long post, just trying to get everything (history) in.
Thank You....
