so i had a fx4100 before and i was upgrading to the fx6300 so i updated my bios to the lastest and checked my cpu support list of my mobo asrock n68 gs fx
all seems well i went ahead and just swapped cpus alot of people say i should reinstall windows its this true ????
i have enough wattage i think 750w psu 80 plus
gtx 650 just incase it matters
8 gb RAM 1600 mhz but only runs at 535x2 so 1000mhz is this bad ?
really need help as boot times are way worst and crashing often

What are your temps? Reset your bios and see if that helps, also remove your old CPU drivers and download the latest chipset and CPU drivers.

thats the problem i bought the cool master TX3 after market cpu coooler now i think i applied too much termal paste could that be bad? the problem is cpu z and hwinfo tell the MAX temp is 36c but my mobo says 45c so i dont know which is right but should 45c be acceptable

Update drivers first, flashing bios can sometimes have some unexpected consequences, especially on older boards.

Don't flash it just reset it, do you have a reset button on the IO or Motherboard, you should be able to reset it to default from the bios its self by pressing escape or exit and I usually says Save & exit, don't exit or reset to default, you can also remove the small CMOS battery on your Mobo(button battery) to reset the BIOS.

i went into my BIOS and reset to default using f2 to get in bios and reseting it that way its been runnign now for 30 minutes more than before and no crashes all thats left to do now is test it underload :)  is it worth installing fresh windows or doing a factory reset ??

How about just using it normally for a few days.
It's not going anywhere is it?
Return if the problem persists.

No, reinstalling windows I doubt will fix it, just play underload and see how long you last

Update the mobo drivers, also do you have your SSD/HDD plugged into a 6gb/s sata as this will boot faster than a 3gb/s sata, also doing a disk defrag every now and then, deleting things you don't need like in your downloads folder etc, and check for malware as well, also boot time would decrease depending on how many things that open on startup

im gonna give disk defrag a go seems like no crashign now :)  plus i have a hdd partion on my 1TB drive and the system partion of 200gig is almost full everything gets saved there would that slow the system down ?? should i start saving everything in the other partion not in the system files area

If it is used for disk caching and is full it would.

It wouldn't make much of a difference, HDD's don't boot up as fast anyway, what is your exact HDD?

You have a ok HDD, 7200RPM, what SATA port is it plugged into a 6gb/s or 3gb/s?

In general use no bee gaming since starting thread and multitasking and is all good no crahses running prime95 now lets see what happens hehe if no crahses where good if it does where still good hahaha lol One last question guys
Thinking of upgrading from GTX650 to GTX760 good idea ? 1080p gaming FX6300 good enough ? Plus How do i go About changing Cards should i do Drivers and Things like CPU ? Before or after i Built my PC bit yet these things stump me lololol

Your prime95 is fine, the 760 is a solid card although I would save up for a little while and consider a 770, you will get much more performance and remove the GPU drivers only using a driver sweeper and then shut down, install a new card, reboot and download the GPU drivers for the new card.

Anotherr question btw your a saint for answering all these someone give this man a medal lol
Any way what do ypu think of setting my CPU in the BIOS to run at Max all the time ..?? Does that hurt the CPU ??

No, it shouldn't, it the mobo would keep voltage higher constantly and it will consume more power and get a bit hotter on idle.
It will basically stay at max frequency constantly.

Dont care too much on power consuption on power lol i have 4 120mm fans so noise aint a problem either should i go for it ??

It's made to be OC but OC too much it will shut its self down to stop damage but it shouldn't let you even set it to breaking point, also remember increased temps.

so as long as i can cool it i should be ok ill give it a go since it just passed prime fine anyway i can always just reset it to default another last thing should i turn cpu thermal throtling off ???

I would advise to turn it on but set a max temp for the CPU to around 97ish so it don't burn up.

It basically underclocks the CPU if it gets to a certain temperature to let it cool off.

There should be a max temperature in the BIOS for it, though it may be under a different section, check temperatures and monitoring to see if it has any soty of MAX temp, it may do it automatically as all components have a tj max(degrees C max)

Oh well ill see whats going om going to put it at 4.1ghz see thermals etc should i change my RAM speed in Bios or leave it on Auto i have 1600mhz running at about 1000mhz ? Should i set it to 1600??

Ok cool ill give it a go however underload with thermal throtling off the pc turns off at 50c eventhough im sure 6300 is safe to run at 70max

Yeah, is there no way to adjust it, look around in your bios for 50C that relates to CPU temps, if you can change it to like 98C, have a good look through the whole bios.
