My Custom Computer Keeps Freezing

[athornfam2]

For some reason my computer freezes after a period of time. I thought I fixed it with some suggestions that were made for my cpu and motherboard. I'm starting to get really frustrated with the AMD hardware... So this is my last resort to see if I missed anything. The link below is a snapshot of everything in my computer using Piriform Speccy. All questions are definitely welcome.

You really should try to describe your problem in more detail, what do you mean by freezes? Do you have to reboot? what's going on?

The computer completely freezes. I have to shut the computer completely off and reboot the system. No errors prompt on the screen.. No blue screens.. It just freezes even when i'm browsing the web or playing Civ 5 or CS Go.

no clue dawg.

You make sure everything is completely up to date? Windows updates, graphics updates, motherboard updates, bios updates?

That cpu you have there is practically a furnace, do you have adequate cooling?

Have you checked if there are any RAM issues? Do you have an overclock on anything?

Bios is up to the latest update revision 3... as of 2015. Just did a graphics card update yesterday since I upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. Windows update is giving me issues right now which I'm trying to resolve. No chipset updates either. The CPU has an extreme water cooler on it. 3 140mm fans and a huge water tank that takes the whole top of my case.

Ram is correct for the motherboard and CPU. I haven't done a ram "check" which I can do. Everything is stock due to the processor being a furnace without the cooler. 4.7GHz is more than enough without overclocking.

I'd run a RAM check, or simply pull out one and see if it fixes it, if not swap them, if it works you have your culprit. This type of problem has usually turned out to be OC or RAM related in my experience.

Anything else I can try before I start pulling ram?

might be worth increasing vcore a little incase it's instability line 0.025v

If your pc keeps freezing, perhaps you should.... warm it up

I increased the voltage to 1.525v

Good one! I'm really thinking about sinking my money into a i7 6850k but i'm looking at 1,500 dollars with everything and a 1080... This stuff I have is about 4-5 years old.

Do it, I really want a 6 core + CPU, but can't justify it + wife will kill me, I only got the 1080 in November

Yeah... my wife said to me I guess I should go spend $1,500 dollars on something too and I was like... I've had this for 4-5 years... I've been good. Although recently i've bought a lot of Cisco CCNA equipment as well as upgraded my wan equipment. Oh well. I'm trying to keep this living a little longer... Hopefully bumping the voltage a little will help it. I'm going to run some tests on my ram to make sure everything checks out.

Your pc is pretty old, if it's 4-5 years old and with that cpu, maybe parts are just going bad.

 

With taxes coming out, now would be a good time to upgrade, although I'd probably hold off on a 6850k. Ryzen is right around the corner, and if this one chart I found is to be accurate, you could get some very good cpus for much cheaper than Intel.

Yeah.. I'm kinda between a rock and a hard spot.. I can wait until those processors come out or wait until the 8th gen i7's come out for the 7th gen to drop in price. You can't beat an 8 core / 16 thread machine for 95 watts

Upping the vcore did not help out. My computer still froze when playing Cities: Skyline my CPU was running from 38-65C

[athornfam2]

I resolved my own issue. The 9590 is the issue. Clock speeds are not stable at 4.7 GHz to 5.0 GHz. I have it clocked around 4.0 GHz for right now with steady temps around 51c... I'm probably going to clock the cpu up higher since it crashes constantly and has temps up to 70c with a liquid cooler on.
