operating system windows 7 pro
bios update 2501 i think not sure off hand but was latest

New ASUS sabertooth 990fx r2.0 + new AMD FX-9590 4.7 8 CORE processor will not boot
Ok my son wanted to update his pc so he bought a new ASUS sabertooth 990fx r2.0 with a 4.7 processor and a large heatsink to cool it down
Ok well at first we could not get any picture to the monitor at all so we looked around a little and we found a post saying to swop the jumper over on the motherboard THAT RESETS THE CMOS
well we did this and the pc started and we formatted the hard drive and installed windows
Ok we then suffered freezes randomly after a few minutes of the PC starting up and we could not understand why
so we did this to try and solve it
made sure we had all updated software
We swopped the graphics card
We checked for arcing on the case
we just put one stick of ram in
we checked all plugs and cables and made sure all hardware was seated properly
made sure the heatsink was on processor firmly and had an even spread of thermal compound
Ok we did this and more but now the pc will not start at all it just kicks in and turns off a few seconds after it try's to boot, it will stay on if you change the jumper over that resets CMOS , but when you change it back it turns of again after a few seconds
the only other way to get the pc to work IE power to all fans,graphics,drives bla bla ids to unplug the processor from its power
we considered trying a lager psu ?
we are now stuck and don't know what to do next
any help would be very very welcome
thankyou
