Hi guys, been a while since I've had any PC issues and I recently decided to upgrade my rig and it's backfired and is now incredibly unstable which has put a downer on the purchases..
So my rig below:
AMD FX 8350 (8corecpu)
Sabertooth 990fx r2.0 (latest BIOS 2105 i think)
GTX 970 (Palit)
Corsair GS 600 PSU *
2 x4 gb Kingston DDR3 1600 RAM *
Generic Hitachi HDD *
*items are still from previous rig
*EDIT (This has been reset back to AHCI problem persists) Problems started initially after build would not get past windows logo, then from memory I think I read somewhere to change mode from AHCI to IDE - after i did this windows would load ok so I thought all was well.
Then keen to test out the system booted up COD Advanced Warfare after a few seconds of gameplay the pc quickly flashed a BSOD and then went completely dead, noticed the red cpu led illuminated.
I then went into bios and reset everything to default and restarted. It would boot but then I would now also get crashes when just in windows not doing much, this time however it would just go back to the initial tuff screen and restart itself with no error messages (I did not have to power on and off to get it to start again.
I noticed that if I changed the bios option from normal (i have not tried quiet yet) to performance it will not have the issue in windows anymore only when I try to play COD.
I have also seen in CPU-Z that the core speed and voltage fluctuate a lot (and i can hear the fan speeding up and slowing down when idle) ALso at stock the cpu is running faster than it should at around 4112. I have played around with various suggestions via bios setting which have got the fluctuations less dramatic but nothing seems to resolve the issue it essentially always restarts my pc, sometimes to the point that the red cpu light is on and i have to power on/off or it just silently and quickly restarts. To note cpu temps are below 30 (coretemp) when in windows and i'm using the stock cooler - with the side of the case open.
I have checked and reseated cpu, checked all connections are good to the board and i've really run out of ideas as to what I can do/what the issue is. It's very vague online with almost every components being sighted as the possible issue. It's very frustrating as I feel there is just some setting (or combination of settings) that I need to find to get this stable so I can play my games for longer than a few minutes at a time.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
