So hi again TH! I'll be posting all the information I think is relevant, please ask for anything else and ANY tips are appreciated!

Problem:
Computer crashes between 5 minutes to an hour of being on. I thought it was linked to "getting above 50c on the CPU" since it was doing it quite often on ESO / BF4 when set to turbo (5.0Ghz) but now it doesn't seem to be linked to anything.

Components:
CPU: FX9590 4.7 (Turbo to 5.0Ghz)
Mobo: Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
Ram: G.Skill 2x4gb @ 1866Mhz
PSU: Lots of different ones, ranging from my old 1000W to my brand new out of box 700 THERMALTAKE| TR-700

Thermaltake case, a nice Kingston Hyper X SSD and Western Digital HDD

I've spent entire days off swapping parts, running memtest, swapping sticks, swapping everything. We then put the CPU into a different computer that has no issues, and that computer hard froze within minutes, same exact problem. That prompted us to stop the search and RMA the CPU. I just got it back today, threw all my components back together, and it hard freezes again. We've tried overclocking, underclocking, different BIOS settings (don't know how to post those aside from cell-phone screenies?) and everything we could imagine. We put that other rig's CPU into my setup (Mobo, ram, hdd/sdd, case, fans ,ect...) and it didn't freeze up. Reset BIOS to default, power saving, ect... this CPU still freezes, even after RMA.

These were taken with my phone because it froze like this. When I posted a DXDIAG in "Quote" it wouldn't post my thread for some reason, any information I can post to help this? Thank you!

Whatever PSU you had in at the time is crappy - the 12V rail was seeing a half volt drop. So tip no.1 - don't use that power supply again.
What other power supplies have you got you can use? - make and model.

CPU temp seems OK. Those 9590's are supposed to get real hot easily and use a lot of power - even more than my 3930k.

Tip no.2 - google 'problems with sabertooth 990FX' - see if anything crops up that you can use.

Have you got readouts on the 760?

Have you tried swapping out bits eg GPU, CPU, RAM? This is where you find who your real friends are.

My first guess is that it is something temperature related.

This is a brand new PSU, and I've swapped everything out, like I said just putting in a different CPU we couldn't get this system to freeze up again. Could the motherboard be causing these volt drops? We've tried around 5 different PSUs, that work in other rigs around the house without freezing.


What sort of readout can I provide for the 760? I use evga precision but ill get whatever other program you want to get good feedback
