Computer problems -_-

[sivertholmvik]

Hey, my pc wont play on the same team as me  

Ok, heres whats happening:

Well when i play a game for a extended period of time my computer freezes and i have to reset it. 

This is really frustrating when i render a video or play competative games and get bans because i cant reset my pc in time.

Specs:

Amd FX-9590 Black

Msi R9 390

2x 1tb seagate barracudas

corsair RM850 fully modular

Asrock 990FX Extreme 6

Noctua D15

 

Thanks in advance

usage and temps of both cpu and gpu? 

 

what do you see in windiws event viewer?

Complete freezes like that are a common hard driver issue, how old is it? consider getting a brand new SSD for boot driver.

Ah yes, Seagate Barracudas.

 

Question: how old is this computer? If it's, like five years old or round about, that's likely gonna be the problem. I remember having the same issue where my Barracuda 2TB drive would give up in some things. Not to mention, it died days after the warranty period ended.

I have two hard drives. Bootdrive/program and program storage and another one for basically photos, videos and backups. 

The bootdrive is about a year old and the dumpdrive is about 1,5-2 years old.

 

I think it has to do with thermals on the 9590 black

The computer is about 3-4 years old if not newer. The drives are newer than the pc as i bought them while i upgraded hardware. Is it 5 year warranty on the barracuds?

The pc is idling at a chill 30 celcius while boosted to 5ghz. 

I set furmark at the 1080p preset and started it and prime95 on all thread to simulate a really intense video render. 

After 30 min the temperatures stabilized at a toasty 95 C on the cpu and 70 C on the cpu diode while the gpu was also at a toasty 96 C. 

My room was about 34 C when the tempratures stabilized. Well i guess i have a really great heater haha.

While the bench took place the cpu clock kicked down to stock speed 4,5ghz and sometimes jumped up to 4,7ghz.

I mean the 9590 is not known to be a fireplace for no good reason, maybe consider saving for a new CPU altogether would be the best, the 9590 really has been surpassed by a lot of processors already, processors extremely more power efficient

Yes i know. I have like 3 projects in my garage. A car and two motorcycles. So those are the money drain ahah. But i was looking at the latest ryzen cpu. Seems like the best bang for buck right now  I had a little issue today with trying to load gta v. It just froze just as it did before. But the pc is cold. So i think my harddrives are on their way to dying. I guess ill just buy a ssd and call it a day for now  But thanks for all of you guys' help

Nevermind, Kingston SSDNow UV400 this ssd has more speed than the budget m.2 ssds.

Gee any thing but Kingston or PNY:

For a cheap SSD the SanDisk SSD Plus is very decent, if you want to spend a bit more for certain reliability you could opt for Crucial MX 300 or Samsung EVO 850.

 

I personally see no appeal what so ever in M.2, but if you like it do consider it, just avoid Kingston, they do awfully shady marketing practices.

OMG! I have had kingstone forever. I like their railability and stuff, but now im just speechless... I guess it will be a amd or Adata ssd. I dont have the money for a evo nor a sandisk.

I just looked at m.2 drives and i do not see the point of them either.. Slower speeds and less storage for the hefty pricetag.

AMD R3?

 

Those are fairly good, I do recommend.
