    Brand new pc = big problem

    in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory

    Posted

    Ok so it seems that temps are kind of weird. While installing the drivers for Nvidia (Finally successfully) the cpu temps went to 68.5c that seems high for just an install. Isn't it? 

     

    It does seems (finger crossed) more stable with 1 stick and new windows install. 

    I am installing games to see if that "push" the machine to freeze. 

    Is there anything else I should be doing to test the other stick apart from replacing the stick?

    Change the CPU LLC to manual mode and use an increased setting and see if that helps. 

     

    If the issue clears up or goes away completely, return the board and pick something else.

    Well how likely did I get 2 bad mobo including a brand new one... 

    also the choices for itx format for the 3700x is like 3 or 4 mobo and the asrock is the only reasonably priced one.

    The only thing I can really think of trying is reseating the CPU and Ram. Depending on the ram you got it could be incompatible with the board, did you check the QVL before purchasing? If it still has the issue after reseating the CPU and Ram, try your old ram kit and see if it still freezes.

    I have reseated the ram and CPU as the first AS rock I received was refurbished and got a brand new one thinking that I got a bad mobo... 

    I definitely did not check the QVL. I did not even know that it was a thing... but should that be an issue if not overclock? I have either the vengeance lpx 2666mhz or Adata XPG 3000mhz. I am going to try install the vengeance kit.

    Did you DDU the the Titan drivers before installing the 2080 Super? If you are in Windows run DDU then reinstall Geforce Experience and get the drivers again and see if that fixes it.

    I did. What is weird is that it is randomly freezing with either graphic cards even after updating the drivers for either graphic cards. Also most of the time I don't even have the time to download the drivers before it froze. I managed to do after the 5th time... and installed it after 4 freeze... it is still freezing 

     

    Also Temps seems ok. I have the alphacool aio 140mm and idle temps are mid 40 and Gpu temps are like low 30 at idle.

    Hello everyone, 

     

    I have been facing an issue with my build.

    I used to have a 6700k, 16gb 2666mhz ram (corsair), titan x pascal. After having blue screen after blue screen I decided to start from scratch apart for the gpu.

    Long story short I decided to make a itx build so I ordered 2 8gb stick of ram, AMD 3700x, asrock 570x itx, seasonic sx800, and a new nvme (crucial). I put everything together, install windows and I get random freeze that forced me to reset the pc... 

    So I decided to install the new bios update, update windows, and update the nvidia drivers (I still used my titan x). Nothing change my pc randomly freeze even when I am just downloading a file like the .exe for steam. 
    I thought that it could be my gpu so I ordered a 2080 super and hoped that my nightmare would be done. I was wrong it still freeze... everything is brand new. I can still return everything but would love to pin point the issue... 

     

    thanks in advance for the help

    • that CPU is overpriced - should be $250
    • mother board is also overpriced
    • that's probably more RAM than you need but if you are doing video work... maybe
    • you probably don't need that massive SSD
    • that PSU is excessive, you said it yourself

    That all together should shave off ~$700 give or take maybe ~$100

    it is 240 usd. Not sure about Australia exchange rate but 350 might be the price there.

    I just have an older acer 1080p monitor. Most of my time I spend doing college and work stuff or watching youtube videos. I only game a few hours a day if at all. I’ve been thinking of getting a basic 4k 60hz monitor for my over all needs, but I might just buy this one : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0149QBOF0/ref=psdc_1292115011_t3_B00VRCLHYS#Ask or the one you’re using doesn’t look bad either.

    If you are not a heavy gamer I think that 60hz is enough. They only think you need to keep in mind is that you will have much lower fps on a 4k screen. That is why I have a 4k and a 2k ^^

    That dell looks good too.

    that is the 4k screen I have. I am happy with it.

    it is also 60hz (displayport only) and 1ms response time

    What do you think about this new 4k monitor? LG 4k

    It is ok only 60hz and 5ms in response time

    For starcraft I use this one http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XG270HU-omidpx-FREESYNC-Widescreen/dp/B00VRCLHYS/ref=sr_1_25?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1463621562&sr=1-25&keywords=acer+monitor

    It is a tn so the angle of view is not amazing but it does not bother me since I look at the screen strait and it is 144hz and 1ms which is great.

    what screen do you currently have? is it mostly for gaming? editing? other?

    SC2 is not demanding at all. On top of that, I run SC on the absolute lowest settings. So the most demanding thing would be a RC flight simulator, haha. I should buy 4k monitor no worries? 

    I have a 4k and a 2k for gaming a 2k is better in my opinion because you get a lot more fps.

    then op should state it, im assuming he wish to remain his system as is and im recommending the best gpu to go with it `-`

    Fair enough. Also I would wait like a month as some of the nvidia might have some good sale with the arrival of new GPU.

    Sorry guys can you dumb it down for me,

    My brother said that it might be worth upgrading my CPU but he said it wouldnt guarantee better fps

    Well of you goal is to gain more fps a GPU will be better. If you want more performance on none gaming task I would definitely upgrade the CPU

    Hey man thanks for your quick reply, I would say my budget would be around £250?

    This is all a bit foreign to me so if it is worth while spending a bit more than that i would consider it,

    My PSU is 500W I think this should be enough?

    I think it would be enough for most GPU

     

    Do you want to stay with AMD or you don't care?

    Long time to post and very slow bios

    Which part of turning on takes longer, like does the bios screen show for longer, does the windows logo take much longer to go away or is the entire process taking equally as long?

    It takes a very long time for the msi post to show. Once the windows screen is on it works like a dream. 

    If I go into the bios everything is VERY slow as well
