I just tried to boot from my old hdd and so far it seems to safely be updating and adding my new mobo drivers. Even though my ssd did the same thing (at first)  could my ssd have conflicts with my new mobo?

Seems likely the case, especially if the HDD is able to boot multiple times without issues. First I'm ever hearing of this though

I had a perfectly working pc until I got and installed a new cpu/motherboard, updated the bios and reinstalled windows 10. Whenever I try to boot up, the pc may: (1) fail to post, (2) fail to boot windows, (3) crash on login, (4) crash less than one min. after login, (5) boot up and work perfectly until I myself shut it down later and try to reboot after a couple min.

 1 - I have stripped my pc down to only one RAM, keyboard, SSD to troubleshoot and it acts exactly the same. 

2 - I tried different ram to same effect. 

3 - PSU was bought new 2.5 months ago (pc can sometimes perfectly function).

4 - No capacitors look damaged. 

5 - CMOS battery was low then replaced

6 - CMOS reset

 

PC gives no beeps or errors, it just resets or shuts down without warning. Anyone know what I should do?

CPU/ i5-2500

MB/ Intel DQ670W

This board boasts an "auto overclock " at 3.7 ghz. Could be the problem if it overclcks the CPU on post? It sounds doubtful but..........this cpu stock is 3.3ghrz

I recently had an issue where I my motherboard wasnt grounded so it would fail to post. After many attempts it would sometimes turn on and work fine but would repeat the process soon after I restart. Tightening the motherboard screws solved that for me so you could check if your mobo is in well (standoffs and screws nice and secure)

System: Intel Core i3 3240 @ 3.4GHz, EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB ACX 2.0, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Kingston HyperX RAM, ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 Motherboard, Corsair CX430 W Power Supply

My old mobo had only 6 pegs whereas my new mobo needs 8 pegs. Even though these 6 pegs are spaced evenly, could that be causing my mobo to fail post?

 

thanks for the help

Well maybe but that should be fine. I only use 4 of the 6 my mobo needs and Im alright. The last two for the base which due to the rigidity of the board doesnt touch the case at all unless I were to actively plug in headers which I always do with the system off.

 

If the last two for your mobo is making it touch the case where its not suppose to then that can be an issue, but otherwise all should be fine
