Agreed, we are going to have to know the PSU.

Also are you overclocking at all? Have you checked temps of both the CPU and GPU?
 
Forgot to mention I have a bfg 1000watt psu it worked fine with my old mobo witch was a Biostar GF8200C M2+ and the 4870x2
and no overclocking,


temps:
CPU:27c
Gpu: 39

when i play games it only goes up by 10-15c

:??:
 
IF these problems only cropped up after a MB swap...

Clean install, latest chipset /GPU drivers, MB BIOS settings, and, if probs still persist:

Test video card in another machine, if possible....
Try another video card and/or PSU in your system

Unfortunately, if none of these options points to a bad component, the possibilities of a bad MB can't be discounted...
