NB: The MB or the MBs own monitoring software can sometimes affect third party diagnostic software readings.

Trying a known good PSU is one way of ruling the MB in or out as the possible cause.

Yes I am looking to replace the motherboard, what else should I replace if I want the PC to be better.
Sorry for late reply as I was out on Holiday, came back last night at 4am due to a flight delay.

As a starting point a MB suggestion for you http://www.amazon.co...E/?tag=pcp0f-21 and the MBs CPU support list so that you are happy with compatibility http://www.asrock.co...treme3/?cat=CPU let us know what you think.

What I really prefer is with the current case and some of the parts used like RAM/PSU/Graphics Card

Two things that I recommend are 1: Purchase a stock heatsink and CPU fan and get rid of the hydro cooler, 2: That you do a barebones set up when you get the new MB, let us know when it arrives and we will walk you through it.

At first I only wanted to clean the inside of my computer as my compressed air cans that I have bought arrived. As I was cleaning, I was thinking that the inside of my computer would look a lot nicer if everything fitted correctly. Before, my fan was connected to the radiator of the water cooler which is not fully fitted on the case, 1/5 of that part was blocked by the case. So I decided to only keep the fan but it would mean I would need to use the stock heat sink.
Using the stock heat sink, I had to do several things, remove the motherboard from the case and also the water cooling system from the motherboard. Buy a new thermal paste and remove the old one on the processor (I done this by using only a clean card that was provided, I realised after that I didn't use any chemical to fully remove the old paste. The new paste was applied by placing a small amount of paste in the centre in the form of a pea shape then i pressed down on it using a card to spread. I used a dried out wet wipe to dab on the areas where there was no paste. (I had my mum go and buy the paste for me which took around 30 minutes while I was cleaning the inside of the case and also around the PSU and the PSU itself. I then put everything back into place and encountered another problem. I need new screws for the fan so it took me a while to find figure it out after taking 2 trips to the shop and spending a bit more money on screws than I expected.
The computer seems fine and I'm sure that everything is working but I still yet to see if the computer would restart if I go on shut down. I have several pictures to show and also a question.
Are the fans in the correct position? As in did I place it so the air would go out of the case or did I place it for air going INTO the case.
The first time I turned on the computer one of the fans was making noise as it was spinning and it was due to the fan itself hitting the case but I turned it around so there is the guard between the case and fan which made no noise.
Another question is would you like to see the programs such as SpeedFan/Speccy/HWMonitor screenshots as I have a different hardware on the computer now?
Anyway, here are the pictures
Edit 1: Computer still restarts after going on shut down. Have not experienced any crashes so far, have played several games.
Edit 2: Not sure if you could tell much about that heatsink from the photos but I just noticed that I actually have 2 heat sinks, this one and the I brought before which philpower2 suggested. I didn't realise before that I actually had 2 heat sinks and now I am wondering which one is better or how will I know which one is better. The current one I have I think is an old one and the one I bought is called Alpine 64 Pro http://www.amazon.co...62222655&sr=8-8
The current one has copper with the heat sink and fan and that it is AMD but that is all I know.

Case fans should draw in cool clean air at the front and expel hot air at the rear, you can check this by placing your hand a short distance away from the fan outside of the case.
Was the MB inside or outside the case when it restarted.
What was connected to the MB when it restarted.
New temp and voltage screenshots would do no harm but all would appear well there seeing as you have had no crashes when gaming.

Like I asked earlier, I have 2 heatsinks which I didn't know about, one seems to be an old but unused AMD Heatsink and the other is what you have asked me to purchase before which I have (not knowing I already had a heatsink hidden in the boxes!) http://www.amazon.co...62222655&sr=8-8
I'd assume that what you asked me to purchase is the better option but the computer has been working fine, the only problem is the restart when shutting down still.
