Computer freezes when playing games.

[ian1996ab]

Ok so i built my first computer and i can not figure out for the ife of me why it is freezing. Its constantly freezes when playing games, or even as simple as full screening videos. I have tried everything i can think of to attempt to fix the situation and i have been doing so for over 6 months. I also have found that in aida 64 the cpu cases within like 7 seconds when stress testing the cache

ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA

Intel Core i7-4790K Devil's Canyon

This is very weird. Are you running any overclocks, CPU or GPU? Also when it freezes, how do you get out of it, do you restart?

[don_svetlio]

PSU is faulty and poor quality.

^^^^^^

There is no overclock everything is set to default, and i didn't realize i had a poor quality psu. is there any recommendations? I'm willing to buy one to see if it changes anything lol

Is the Corsair cx 750M really that bad? Personal experience, or not satisfied with the 80+ bronze certification?

when it comes PSUs everyone here hates corsair and goes over to suck EVGA and Seasonic's dick.

I dunno how much truth there is to this, but this situation does sound like a PSU problem.

CX are made by CWT - mediocre design, chinese caps, poor electrical performance, bad build quality, 30*C temp rating. You can get a SeaSonic S12II for the same amount. 50*C temp tolerance, all japanese caps rated at 105*C. Good build quality.

so a friend of mine has recommended something incredible simple, but because of doing it i havent had a freezing in the short time iv used it after. i went to power options-advance options- pci express - link state power managment- setting- then change from moderate to maximum. do you guys think this is a actual fix or if that would possible affect anything at all?

[Funtron5000]

I don't know. Can you monitor your CPU temps? Did you apply an XMP profile to the RAM?

[ian1996ab]

my cpu temps are very stable, at about 39, and i believe so.

A Corsair RM650 is much higher quality and will still be plenty of power
