AMD A10-7850k Issues?

cman54b · Jun 10, 2014

My current specs

OS: Windows 7 64bit
MB: MSI A88XM-E45
APU: AMD A10-7850k
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 760
8GB Ram.

Issue.
Ever since getting a graphics card I have run into a few small issues.
1. I love playing Minecraft. When I play Minecraft will randomly crash with (Not Responding) error. It never did this with the APU graphics.
2. I got watchdogs and it crashed once and stopped the game twice with the error Nvidia graphics has stopped working and recovered. I know it isnt the card itself as this is the second one. I tried a Sapphire R9-270x which that card had issues by itslef as well.

My question.
Can the APU be used with the Nvidia graphics card? I disabled the integrated graphics option in the BIOS. I also noticed when I install the Chipset drivers from MSI it installs a graphics driver. I just want my computer to work without any issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated

P.S. If it is because of the APU fact, is there a way to get around it or do I need a new CPU along with a motherboard. If I get a new CPU it would be the i5-4670k. Would this be more compatible?

You switch integrated/discrete graphics on and off in bios. Sometimes its done automatically - the mobo switches to discrete on high graphics load.

Check your mobo manual on how it works.

I disabled the integrated off in the BIOS so it won't intefere at all. Is the APU the cause of the issues I am having or is it driver wise?

Whats the make and model of your PSU? It could be a power related problem.

I don't understand why would you got for such a choice with a non-dual graphics configuration. The A10-7850k is an expensive CPU that only pays off if don't plan on putting expensive dedicated GPU's inside. But I digress...

What you need to do, if you haven't yet, is to install 64-bit version of java, that will have minecraft run much more stable and faster at max settings. Just make sure you install it in a different folder than your other one as most applications still run 32-bits.

For the power supply it is is a RAIDMAX 530w. I tried putting a 750w Corsair in but it didn't fix the issue.

As far as choice of CPU, this was my first PC build so I am still fairly new to some of this stuff. I already have the 64bit version of java. Java isn't the reason for the nvidia graphics driver crashing then recovering.

Is there any other suggestions as to what the issue may be?
