So recently got a Combo deal with a Biostar FM2 chip Motherboard which I finally upgraded from a old chip(we talkin first series quad) Anyways, I get it all setup so now my system reads
A10-5800k FM2 socket
Biostar Hi-fi a85s3
gigabyte Nvidia GTS 650ti
8gigs Vulcan ram ddr3
700watt PSU
So the current issue I'm having is the system after about a hour or so of gameplay Goes black, Sound loops out and then nothing. I've done some research on the site and it looks like this could be a number of things but I posted to the CPU forum because I believe I have narrowed it down and I'm looking for a second opinion.
I checked the Ram it checked out thru both the memory test and the Windows memory test (the one where it utilizes all the ram. Ran all night and then some.)
downloading and installing some of the AMD software from their site actually ended up causing a constant screen blackout to the point where I had to re install windows. That could have been my fault as it was a overclock program which I normally never do on my machines. I was just curious if I could monitor what was going on in my Processor. No BSods, and when I check the event viewer it just mentions a power shut down which is me basically cold booting the system because the reset switch only causes the fans in my system to speed up. Drivers are up to date, (I would hope since this is a fresh windows Install)
Oh and one more thing that I find peculiar. Raiding in the 10 mans while in wow actually doesn't cause me to crash. Its out in the world which causes it usually while flying. get a lot of units in Civ5 on the screen and boom down it goes. skyrim same thing if too many things are going on via the NPC's or some of the advanced scripts in Skyrim.
Can't be overheating as I got a recommended case and fan that you guys recommended and I'll say never seen my temps so low. Anyways, Not the PSU because Didn't start having this issue until I got the new gear. Thought it could be the Video card at first and I tried the underclocking as someone mentioned that fixed theirs. Didn't fix mine and World of warcraft tends to be a heavy processor game Civ 5 and Skyrim cause issues regardless of where I have the settings which leads me to A. I have something set wrong in the Motherboard or B my Processor is freaking out due to a incompatibility with the video card or is simply needs to warranty it out.
Any Solutions, or perhaps a Better diagnostic solution that could determine the issue. As this is my only FM2 motherboard I really can't swap (not to mention the epic fan is pretty big
