Hard to say why the mobo was shutting down... If you can boot the old mobo and get into bios you should be able to watch the temperature of the chipset.

more likely the capacitors - they be the 1st things to go on any electronic circuit

could it have been dry thermal paste on the chipset?

spot on Geth
i have another mobo and it works with the original CPU, now i am sitting on "startup repair" hoping that i will get the info on my raid HDDs.

if anyone has tips on resoting info from raid 0 i would appreciate the tips.
