The motherboard is the newest part as it was recommend on this site to fix my other issue. So what happens now is after X amount of time it just locks up, screen freezes like im in elementary school computer time. I can hear the computer running but the screen has frozen completely. I have to manually restart the computer to fix this. I am curios if anyone has any ideas where to start to look for the issue. I out the mobo in myself. I made sure stay away from any static sources, and i belive i hooked it all up correctly, i took photos so looking for ideas where to start looking. There is no reason to when it happens either, ive reformated re got all the drivers. im writing this from said computer so i dunno.
 
Solution
With a new MB, a BIOS update or just a BIOS reset, you need to set up the BIOS. Starting with setting optimized defaults, then the memory speed & timings and anything else depending on your system.

I've never done that before like ever. I did use the cd that came with the motherboard and installed the Software. Could you elaborate?

You didn't mention what's your graphics card. Try to install temperature monitoring software like HWinfo or similar and turn on logging. Check voltages especially 12V rail, CPU and GPU temperatures and motherboard temperature.

I am using a Radeon HD 7800 series here is the sensor test just while idle, https://copy.com/84aCbe40Caaq1tuz and here is the report https://copy.com/EzRD39ZNXebr7Tyn these were made with HWINFO i see my cpu is running at 50 degrees even when idling I would imagine that's to much. Should I redo the thermal paste? I though i did it ok.
