I'm fairly sure my mobo is kicking the bucket but wanted to get some second opinions before I buy a new one.

PC will hard reboot, no minidump generated and no bsod. It occurs at random, has happened in games and while sitting at the desktop. Has even happened while sitting in the BIOS.

I've also had issues getting the PC to wake up from sleep/hibernate which might be unrelated.

Steps I've taken,

- Got a new PSU
- Got new RAM
- Fresh windows install
- Made sure drivers were good
- Updated mobo bios
- Disabled DOCP and any other non-stock bios settings

So all that (the crashing while in the bios especially) seems to point to my mobo failing. If anyone thinks otherwise please let me know before I pull the trigger on a new one.

I would say it is a bad power supply, but you already took care of that. Flakey soft-off case power button? Have you tried disconnecting the front case buttons from the motherboard to illiminate switch or wiring issues? Otherwise, it must be the motherboard, huh?
Edit: assuming you have verified you don't have a power strip or outlet issue.

Fresh cmos battery as well, tried a different gpu?

I would take your board out of the case and make sure nothing got on the backside of it

I was thinking about trying a fresh CMOS but haven't seen any timeloss or anything in the BIOS while it was completely turned off (psu off) overnight. GPU I'll have to go dig in the garage for something to test with, but I'd figure we'd see a bsod or different issues if the GPU was the culprit.

It's annoying because I can go a day or 2 with no issues, then days like today it'll be completely unreliable and I've had it hard reset 4 or 5 times.

I'm usually pretty good at troubleshooting and everything to me is pointing to the mobo being the issue.

Have tried 2 different outlets with 2 different power strips (same breaker tho, although the pc is the only heavy load thing on it). Unless the circuit has suddenly become unreliable out of the blue I think I can rule that out. The power switch idea would be a weird one, I can try with those unplugged for a bit.

Just trying to exhaust the solutions, sometimes it's other parts installed, cr2032 battery is worth a shot even.

I typically would disconnect external devices like usb even.

It would be disappointing if your mobo is toast.
