Hi Guys,

My motherboard recently giving me problem as when I power on the PC then it just will switch off by itself, then the cycle repeat.
Sometimes not even display a POST screen, but sometimes okay then use it for 2 min (manage to login to windows), then it shutdown by itself.

I suspect my motherboard is having problem, thus I need to replace it.
My current rig:
i7 4770k (LGA 1150) + MSI Z87 GD65 + DDR3 32GB

when I look at the current market it's very hard to find LGA1150 motherboard, not much shop is selling anymore.

therefore, my option are left with the following:
1. Buy new CPU + MOBO + DDR4 ram (which is more expensive $$)
2. Replace the motherboard only and use back the current CPU + RAM but what LGA1150 motherboard to get? and where to get?

Need some second opinion from my fellow guru in here,

Thanks!

Kindly post your setup here.
It could very well be your Power Supply Unit (PSU) as well.
Sounds like it from the symptoms you are describing.

my full rig is:
CPU: intel 4770k
MOBO: MSI Z87 GD65
RAM: Kingstone DDR3 4x 8GB
PSU: Seasonic X-650
GPU: GTX 1080
PCI: Sound blaster Z

Been using this rig since 3 years ago, except upgrade the GPU awhile back

You can also try re-seating the GPU and memory.

Tried to re-seat every component and the result was still the same :s22:

There is a possibility on overheat.
Once the system overheat it will auto shutdown to prevent serious damaged.
Try to check the temperature upon BIOS page.
As for more detail may wait for others to response as i am not expert in this area.
