Here is my specs
Ga-78lmt-usb3 rev 3.0
Asus r9 280x
Fx8350
4gb ddr3×2
Psu corsair 650w
Win10
I had my motherboard replaced as it had heating issues...i was using my old board for the moment after i got my new motherboard the northbridge is still hot whenever i play fifa the pc restarts and sometimes it happens randomly i wanted to know is it a hardware issue or a software as i was using my old mobo for a while
 
Solution
Neither of those boards are going to support the 8350 well, they have poor vrm's with poor cooling. The fact it worked for a year is probably luck but vrm's are now showing signs of over stress.

You really need a 970 board or higher for the power a 8350 needs. Just google your current combo and read what people say.
