Hi I have currently been given a
AMD A6 3650 CPU
2 x 4GB RAM
AS-ROCK A75M-HVS
Been ok for a while and been playing games on surprisingly higher FPS than I thought, then a few weeks back had an issue where the games would randomly freeze, BSOD etc and figured out one of the memory stick weren't registering withing windows. I managed to fix that and been playing ok again for a little while but now all of a sudden the freezing has started again but with no BSOD so am struggling to pinpoint it.
I'm looking at temperature fist and whilst HWMoniter is reporting temps such as 14C idle on a stock cooler?? the BIOS will report 43C and then rise steadily to around 67C sometimes which i believe is very close to the threshold. That doesn't seem right does it?
Is my CPU overheating or is HWmoniotr having an issue as 14 seems very low but does report 58C or so after going which seems feasible. I'm not sure which one to believe can someone help?
Also a quick question is if HWmonitor is correct and am getting 58C on stock cooler on load, is it worth my slightly overclocking?
edit - I'm using the onboard graphics RADEON HD 6530D
