Thanks for more replys. The Bios has been updated, will try the Cmos. The PC is also running widows 8.1. We installed the latest AMD drivers for the GPU. Are you suggesting trying to install the drivers from the disk instead?

So another update. My friend checked his event viewer, and noticed this error on freeze: Collaborative processor power controls on processor 3 in group 0 are disabled due to a firmware problem. Check with the computer manufacturer for updated firmware. This error only appears with the R9 390 installed. Any idea why this could be happening?

Well, looks like it was the GPU. I brought my 970 over today to test it out. The PC runs fine with the 970, and without any card at all. It only freezes with the 390, even in different PCI slots. Thanks to everyone who gave suggestions!

Big update: Even after the windows reinstall, having a twitch stream open, then opening afterburner and moving the window would cause a freeze. We decided to remove the GPU and test it. With the GPU removed, the PC didn't freeze. Upon reinstalling the GPU, the freeze returned. Any idea why this is happening? Is the GPU dead?

Update: Had another windows re-install. Froze before even getting to install drivers. Ram memtest and got nothing. Any other ideas what this might be?

Quick update. Tried both RAM stick individually and still froze. Will try to up the CPU voltage. Any other ideas? Edit: Upping CPU voltage had no effect.

Wow, thanks for the fast replys! Update, found how to induce freezes. Having a twitch stream running, then opening afterburner and moving the window will cause a freeze.

Hey everyone So a friend of mine just built a new PC. Every once in a while (5 minute to to 1 hour intervals) the PC will freeze. It doesn't blue screen or anything, just straight up freeze. The only way to unfreeze is force shut down and restart. The strange part is it doesn't seem to freeze during gaming. It will freeze while web browsing, or any other light task, but doesn't freeze in games. I took a trip to his house yesterday to see what was going on. When I got there he was playing a game of hearthstone. As soon as he hit the quit button, the PC froze. We then spent 2 hours trying to recreate another freeze. We finally managed to get another while playing a flash game. The PC then froze a few more times, but we still couldn't find anything that seemed to cause it. My friend though that his windows install might have messed up, so we did a fresh install. This didn't help. I don't know if anyone had had a problem like this, or might now how to fix it. I'm heading back over there today.

Well, looks like you guys finally got me on these forums. As for what I like about the cards, those coolers look pretty insane!
