Need help with an upgraded PC.

[Franquiro2110]

So, here's the deal. I built my pc last year, with the following components and everything was running fine.

 

 

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570k

MOBO: Asus P8Z77-M

RAM: 2x4GB Gskill Ripjaws @1600MHz

GPU: none

PSU: Sharknet 600w (no certification visible in box, manual or psu itself)

Case: Sentey PS2-3272

Storage: 1TB WD Caviar Green 5400rpm (used to be a WD My Book)

 

 

 

I didn't get greedy, it's just that pc components in argentina are a bit more expensive.

 

So this year starts and I have a couple of savings and decide to buy some stuff for my pc.

this is what I got.

 

 

 

replaced

Stock intel cooler -> CM Hyper 212 plus

Sentey Case -> Thermaltake Chaser A31

Sharknet PSU -> Thermaltake TR2 700W

 

Added

AMD Radeon R7 260x 2GB OC edition

Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200rpm HDD

 

 

 

Now my system is Unstable. Games crash and force quit, got an amd BSOD of "atikmdag.sys" and windows crashed too, completely froze. (once, but I just added this parts today)

 

ohh I also "upgraded" from W8 to W8.1

I haven't overclocked anything because last year i was running a stock cooler and a decent-ish psu. and now I have an unstable system, need to get this fixed before getting into that.

 

So basically what I'm asking is If anyone knows a propper software to test my system's stability, and that everything is working fine (which evidently it is not the case), or if anyone knows why this is happening (I know there could be "many reasons" but how do I approach and discard each of these reasons?)

 

thank you for your time!

For your "atikmdag.sys" go to http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=363233, follow instructions.

 

Use HWMonitor to check temps, make sure it's not overheating.

@Franquiro2110

thanks for the forum, will check it out, it's not overheating. cpu is at 35C and gpu is around 34/36 right now. been testing that with realtempGT and gpu-Z

that system deserves a better graphic card..

and you should have added an ssd and not another hard drive.
