Maximus V Extreme rebooting

Help! After recently downloading a game and leaving the computer unattended when I came back my computer now wants to constantly reboot. I have tried the following:

1. swapped out the memory with new RAM - still reboots
2. pulled out the battery to reset the CMOS - still reboots
3. disconnected all the hardrives, soundcard, etc. - still reboots

I try to get in the BIOS to see if I can change anything but I am only in there for 5 seconds before it reboots. I notice it gets to A3 on the LED indicator before it happens. Any other suggestions before I have to rip my computer apart to try to RMA the board? Thanks for any help.

The board had all latest updates installed around a month ago when I installed it.

i7 3770k

I took the case and all to work. Plugged a new GTX Titan in it and monitor off the shelf and now it works fine...weird.

Nope not as odd as you may think, I would not be surprised that the transporting your system in to work has caused the pump to work. A jog or a bump here or there may have just caused the system to work again. I would however keep an eye on temps for a few months just in case.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.
