This is my first build and I have now bsoded twice in BF4.
I have an r9 290 and 4770k on a maximus vi hero mb with 8 gigs of corsair vengeance ram running on a corsair hx 650 psu. I know i am close to the power limit (online calculators tell me i require about 625watts). I also know that amd is notorious for bad drivers and that bf4 has had a buggy start. Another problem is that I currently only have the stock cooler on cpu and gpu. I havent run full stress testing because the cpu has hit 85C after just 2mins of prime95 with individual cores hitting 100C. I have planned on adding a custom water cooling loop in mid-January, which should tackle that issue though.
Long story short, what would someone wiser than I attribute these crashes to and what what be the best plan of action to fix the issue(s)?
