I have a Sabertooth paired with an FX 8350. I run it very hard and have been going for a few months now with a 4.81ghz OC. I run it 24-7 crunching. today I got home and Windows was on the log in screen. I thought maybe Windows snuck in an update on me. I logged in and got it back to crunching. About 20 min ago the screen went blank and I see the red CPU led is on. I held the power switch to shut it down and then restarted it. All working fine. I restarted again and took off the overclock for now. It was not running hot. VRM has maybe hit 63c in the last few weeks. CPU 62c or so. I am not sure if it is the Mobo going or the CPU. It has never done it before, but I have read a lot of posts on Asus boards and the CPU light.
Anyone else ran into this issue? If it is the board I will just buy a new one and RMA this one for a spare. If the processor I will just replace it. Any good way to tell?
