I actually figured it out through three hours of trial and error.
basically, i had an arctic freezer fan heat sink combo, when i replaced that one with the fan heat sink that came with the AMD fx-8350 it stayed on and ran. Set up my bios and installed windows 7 and it works fine.
the only thing i can think of is the motherboard wasn't sensing the fan and it was shutting down as a safety precaution? Which doesnt make sense cause the arctic freezer fan unit was running when it was plugged in? Anyways, replacing the arctic freezer heat sink with the AMD one did the trick. New build works fine. Now i just have to figure out how to set get windows to recognize my 1tb data hdd and not just my SSD
thanks for your response
