Hello, I've a PC with this specs:

 

F2A88X-D3H
A10-7850K
R9 380X
G Skill Intl F3-1866C9-8GXM 8GB x2
750W Cooler Master PSU 80plus
1x 128GB SSD
2x 2TB HDD
Cooler Master Strom Enforcer case
2x 12mm Fans on the front
1x 12mm Fan on the rear
1x 20mm Fan on the top

 

Well, I've had problems since I bought the PC, but I just ignored them until recently. At some point I started having a lot of crashes while gaming, so after many GPU tests and crashes  I RMA'd the card and got a new one, but I still had the same issues. This was solved by moving the RAM Sticks from A2, B2, to B1, B2. I thought that wasn't normal and tested the RAM with memtest for errors, but no errors were found. I did benchmarks for the RAM and CPU and I got really bad results. I thought I maybe was a motherboard problem, since there seemed to be a bad RAM slot, so today I bought a new one, but I have the same benchmark results. Now my question is, what component is malfunctioning? The RAM? Since chaning the slots solved the GPU problem, and I get very low benchmark results. Is it the CPU? The CPU is supposed to handle the RAM so it could be aswell. Or maybe the PSU? Maybe it doesn't provide enough power, so the components don't work properly.

can you post your Benchmark results?

That CPU is shit and might (it does) bottleneck your GPU.

I don't have a screenshot, but I did benchmarks with Passmark and Cinebench R15. 

The results for the CPU are ~200 for cinebench (while with this CPU it should be ~300), and for passmark ~4300, (the average is 5700 for this CPU model).

For the RAM, on passmark i get ~900 (it should be even lower, but the RAM amount score incrases the final score). The worst thing on RAM score is the latency i get between 100 and 200, while on my shitty 4 year old laptop I did the test and got 29.

try to stress test just CPU and see if that will also crash your PC

First of all, you use an Apu with a Gpu.You shoulda gone with 880K or something which is basically an Apu with igpu disabled.You can still try to do that on bios tho.I dont how to do that exactly but you can try to go to your bios advanced-north bridge- set primary graphics adapter to Pci express(if it's on onboard) and slow down your ram 1600 since you are not gonna use it for video memory for igpu if you having prolems with your ram too.I don't know if already do all of that.

The ram runs at 1333Mhz with XMP disabled, and the iGPU is disabled. Also I bought didn't bought the PC by parts, and I didn't knew much about CPUs.

Just do a CMOS reset and see what it does.

 

Also, can you Monitor the temps, clockspeeds and load during benchmarking of both CPU and GPU? That'd help out a lot.

Already tried the CMOS thing. Also downgrading Bios Version. Clockspeeds are 100% usage, 4ghz spee(3'7Ghz+turbo). Gpu benchmarks are fine since the RAM swap i've had no more problems with it. 

 

Cpu temps wont go higher than 65C°, and GPU temps dont go higher than 75°C

Can you just please post Pictures of the Benchmarks, scores and your measurements?
