Computer Automatically shuts off!

That motherboard is simply not up to the task.
3 phase VRM
Some comments on it here

I have Hyper 212+ and 3 case fans (2 intake 120mm and 80mm and 1 exhaust 80mm). Also isnt that CPU in the link 125TDP and the mobo only supports 95TDP?

SO what do you guys suggest I do?? Though prime only runs for 5 secs, so far in my 1/2hr of testing games in ran fine :s

How long does Prime95 run at stock?

there's several options.
1) reduce voltage of the chip and increase clock speed to keep the power envelope within ~95W.
2) buy another motherboard designed with more than crap for power regulation onboard. I suggest the gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3... I have two and I rarely if ever buy two of any motherboard model, I am anally picky when it comes to features and reliability.
3) thermal-epoxy some tall heatsinks onto the vreg chips and hope they last a while.

to the right is my thuban @ default volts, 3.6ghz (~160W TDP), to the left is an athlon II propus 3GHz 4 core default.

Firstly i didnt really test how long it lasts stock. I tried for 20mins though not 1 problem.
How do i tell how to keep it with in the power envelope? Buying another mobo is not really an option now cause i originally set out a budget for this computer im building and i have absolutely none left (Im still 18 in school) and should be getting my gfx card and ram on Monday.

Wow looks good! Ill show you a picture of mine sometime when i find the camera lol.But how do you know how much TDP are you using? Am i to presume that even with overclocking i must stay under 95W?
