General DumbA**ery Issues

[HulkVonSmash]

I've recently bought an AMD FX-8350 with 16gb DDR3 RAM on a AM3+ Mobo that only supports DDR3 RAM. It has a GTX 1060 6GB GPU. I bought it used and the guy said he could only get so far into whatever he was doing before something crashed, he said it was probably the RAM. So I order new RAM (2x4gb) 1866 Kingston Fury X or something in that nature. So I get the hard drive installed and the RAM installed.. After 3 hours of getting Windows 10 to finally install, I've gotten to the point of playing a game. I installed Team Fortress 2 as a lighter game just to get my feet wet. It crashes hard time before I even get to access anything on the main menu. I thought the heatsink and crap was super dusty so I spent some time cleaning that. And I go back to try to boot the game and it crashes hard time again. I'm starting to think it wasn't the RAM that was crashing it was the Mobo. Am I way out of my mind thinking that? It was okay for regular browsing, minimal crashes, but getting it to even play TF2, a super low end game, and it crashed. Help? Please?

And now, it won't even boot. No Gigabyte loading screen or anything.. Fans are going, but nothing else.

Try reseating the cpu one of the pins could be bent and when it tries to rev up it crashes this happened to my system when i was transporting it in a car

It's a EVGA 500 80+ Bronze rating. No idea on the temp, but before I got into using it it was around 50* C

If its not posting then it might be a cpu problem it could of fried itself because 50 deg in tf2 is very high

50 deg is nothing... ~70 deg is when you start worrying. But it can still be a cpu problem, just not a temperature problem.

ya but 50 deg for tf2 that game uses gpu not cpu

I'm gonna have to take it into one of the PC shops in my area. I'm just getting into PC Gaming and I don't know near enough to DIY it.

It was 50 deg just in the BIOS/UEFI menu. I don't know how to check it once it actually boots all the way.

50 deg in bios is worse than the stock cooler u will just be fine with a new cpu cooler and u should boot and be able to play gameslike normal

[HulkVonSmash]

But then I'm also thinking it could be the Motherboard because the guy I bought it from literally told me it would crash after a while. He suggested new RAM, so I bought new RAM. Same issue occurred.

It has a Cooler Master CPU Cooler in it already, though. I want to say it looks like a Hyper TX3, but it's not quite. 

 

Its the Hyper Cooler 212 Evo actually.
