Hi this is my first post on this site, but I've been reading posts on here for a while. I really hope you guys can help me with this. I'll start with my hardware
M4a88td-v evo/USB motherboard
Phenom ii x4 965
2x4GB Kingston blue 1600MHz ram
500 watt ocz PSU
Sapphire radeon HD 6870 card
Segate 1TB HDD
When I first put this system I was very impressed that it could play bf4 on high settings without any oc at all, but it is always crashing, freezing with picture and loud screeching noise, and bsoding within the first 2 or 3 minutes of the game. The cpu temp never gets above 40 degrees and the GPU goes to about 65 degrees. Not enough to even get the fans going fast. Sometimes it will freeze just watching Netflix or browsing too. Then other times I can go a full hour on MW3 extra settings like it's nothing. I never know what it's gonna do.
It is also extremely hard to reboot the system after a freeze or bsod. I have to do a series of resetting the cmos, pressing the memok button and switching the power on and off to get it to boot because the bios is always freezing. Even if I do make it passed the bios. It will freeze during windows boot sometimes too.
A couple days ago I was able to oc to 4200MHz on the CPU on the catalyst auto tune but now it crashes as soon as it starts the process. I never played games on more than 3800.
One time a recommended memtest said that my memory had a problem so I tested each test individually, but it didn't report the problem again even on an advanced 5 swipe memtest. Games also freeze no matter what combo of memory modules I put into the slots.
All drivers are 100% up to date as far as I can tell, and the bios is running on the latest version. I also tried a couple different versions of the graphics driver to no avail. The windows experience numbers seem fine with most of them close to 7.9 except for the HDD.
Any help is appreciated so I don't have to pay a computer shop to mess with this thing. Thanks
