CPU operates with minimal power during full workloads, causing freezing.
Hello everyone, my computer freezes during games and sometimes when I browse the internet it restarts. I've replaced the SSD, GPU, RAM, and motherboard but nothing fixed the issue. Checking HWMonitor shows the CPU's maximum power draw is 48.40 W. During a stress test with Prime95 it stays under 48 W yet the PC freezes. Shouldn't the power be closer to 125 W for my AMD FX 8350 when running at full load? When I use Prime95, it freezes and restarts but not when playing games. Could you have any suggestions? My specs are: CPU - AMD FX-8350, GPU - RX 480, Motherboard - ASRock 760G, RAM - HyperX DDR3 16GB (2x8GB @ 1866MHz), OS - Windows 10 Pro.
Hey, I didn't locate a function called LLC in my BIOS. I attempted to adjust the voltage manually to 1.375V, but it didn't resolve the issue. Below is an image taken while running Prime95. Your specs are: CPU - AMD FX-8350, GPU - RX 480, Motherboard - ASRock 760G-HDV, RAM - HyperX DDR3 16GB (2x8GB @ 1866MHz), OS - Windows 10 Pro.
FX readings aren't reliable when it drops below 40-45c. The temperature calculation isn't working well on these chips. They actually prefer cooler temps and higher voltages.
I previously owned the ASRock 990FX Extreme 3, and I altered the motherboard believing it would fix the issue.
No problem at all, just a CPU hiccup. The 990FX Crosshair V Z struggled with the FX-9590 as well—this chip tends to have those common hang issues. It really liked the v-core. I wrote about this before at OCF a few years back. Make sure the HT and NB speeds and voltages are configured properly. You might try adjusting the mem voltage slightly, but it probably won’t fix it. Consider going back to the 990FX board; it offers better overclocking options and VRMs that can manage higher power loads.
ok, thanks for the info , so you wouldnt say it is a PSU issue but rather a CPU one , right ?
