Hi,

If your temps are in the high 50's when you enter the BIOS setup menu, then they are higher when you begin to use it. That is more than likely your issue. What kind of thermal paste or thermal pad did you use. What kind of cooling do you use...fans, where placed, which direction blowing, etc., etc. It sure sounds like you have an overheating issue that is causing your shutdown and failure to boot.

i was using artic silver 5

i had one fan on the window sucking air in, and two case fans pushing air out and two fans on the power supply running at full speed

it would just freeze and id have to manually restart it

with the MSI board it wouldn't even POST

Hi,

With Artic Silver, too much paste can be worse than not enough, so you need to check that you are not getting too much on there. I am sure you are aware that you have to clean the A Silver off every time you reseat the CPU.

Also with the fans, you need one in front pulling in cool air, one in the rear sucking air out of the case and blowing it out, and the power supply doing it's job. If you have another fan, then suck air in. Make sure your Heatsink fan is blowing DOWN and not up.

Some boards have programs like ASUS probe that shut boards down with temps too high. That might be the case with the one that won't even post.
