Hello everyone,
My story began at the end of the summer, I got back to the city and decided to built a low budget high-end gaming pc. I did my research everywhere I could think of and finally found my needs answered at the following system:
MoBo: Asus Sabertooth R2.0
CPU: AMD Fx-8350 @ 4.00Ghz (with Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo from the start)
Ram: Kingston HyperX 2x4Gb @ 1600Mhz
GPU: Asus GT 740 2Gb
PSU: Xilence Gaming Series 800W
SSD: Kingston 120Gb
At the 9th of September I finally bought this pc. From the second week the problems came in!! Randomly every single day I had to witness a several freeze crashes. It start from 1-3 per day and end up to the highest maximum of 25-30 at some points!!! In my effort to try and solve this problem with my brand new pc the answers I get was:
1) Try a different gpu. -Done the problem still the same.
2) Try a different Ram. -Done the problem still the same.
3) Try minumum usage. -Done the problem still the same.
4) Check motherboard. -Done the problem still the same.
5) Try a different HDD. -Done the problem still the same.
6) Update the BIOS. -Done the problem still the same. (done it more than 5 times)
7) Format and Reinstall Os. -Done the problem still the same. ( done it more than 25 times)
After doing all of the above I started to going crazy about it, and then a friend told that maybe there is a possibility that the crashes occur due to lower capacity at the PSU below 1.000W and that there is a chance that the motherboard or CPU not getting the proper power at the exact time and I get the crash follow up. I have an 800W and I start wondering about this the last couple of days. I forgot to mention that I finish the whole Crysis 3 in a week and a half, I'm playing a lot of online FPS games and I recently had a CoD Advanced Warfare marathon ending with 11 hours of continuous gaming at ultra graphics and not 1 crash. If I go out of a game maybe I would get one or two but in Crysis, CoD, GhostReconPhantoms never inside the game.
Finally, yesterday, I thought why not try to change a little bit the BIOS settings?? I ended up changing the CPU clock at 4.33Ghz and pushing up a little bit up everything I could because It was really my last effort before I decide to burn it. The results??? The system is for the very first time in almost 3-4 months stable more than 26 hours in raw as I'm writing this down. Is it possible that all it needed from the start was a little push from my side??
P.S.
Thanks a lot for reading my little novel!!
