Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 crash

TRY THIS! ASUS tech support doesn't even help you, they just keep pushing you for an RMA. BUT THE REAL PROBLEM FOR ALL IS the 3 pin connector for the cpu . That's the culprit, You need to NEVER connect to the cpu power 3 pin female connector to the mobo 3 pin cpu fan male connector . You have to use the 3 pin female connector from the CPU on the 4 pin male connector just to the right of it on the MOBO called the cpu fan optional, it is a 4 pin male, but you use the 3 pin female cpu connector there and the embedded slot that places it in the right direction IS USED leaving 1 pin unused> so spread the word...the 3 pin male connector on the saber tooth FX990 is useless.

Welcome to the forums KrazyKev.

First this thread has been dead for about a year and a half so I'm pretty sure the OP isn't gonna get you message.

Second I don't see the connection with the fan connectors to the issues the OP was having.

Please explain.
