Computer Keeps Randomly Freezing

[TheNoobHimself]

Ever since I upgraded my computer to AMD R9 280s crossfire it started to randomly freeze, at first I thought it was bottlenecking of my CPU so I upgraded to a AMD-FX 9590, but that didn't work either.

 

Specs:

 

850W platinum PSU

 

AMD-FX 9590

 

AMD R9 280 Crossfired

 

16 gigs of DDR3 RAM

 

gigabyte 990fxa-ud5

Are your graphics drivers up-to-date?

Maybe you should also observe when it starts freezing.

It will start freezing basically at any point, for gaming to starting up my computer.

whats a baf?

Since you mentioned crossfire in the OP, have you tried running only one GPU at a time?

No.

If it doesn't freeze when you run without crossfire, then it may be an issue with that specific configuration.

Ok, how would I try to fix that?

[TheNoobHimself]

It just froze with 1 GPU in.

Take out the second GPU and try booting like that. If there's something you had to do to enable crossfire, then make sure it's disabled (I've never run AMD crossfire so I'm not really sure).

 

EDIT: Try running with the second GPU instead of the first one. Try them in different PCI slots, too.

Ok 1 second.

[TheNoobHimself]

Ok so its working now.

 

Edit: Nvm it froze....

Try the other GPU maybe? So we can narrow it down. If it happens on both of them being in the system 1 at a time most likely they're good.

I tried both and in different slots for both as well and still freezing.
