My computer is freezing all the time, need help asap

haugabodl97 · Jan 26, 2015

Hello, i got a big problem. My computer is freezing almost everytime, sometimes when i dont do anything and sometimes when im just surfing on the internet or gaming.
This happend after i mounted my amd fx8350 and changed my cabinet.

specs :
cpu : amd fx8350
gpu : xfx r9 280x
psu : corsair tx750w
mobo : gigabyte 970a ud3
ram : corsair vengeance 8gb 1600mhz (only running on 1333mhz)
ssd : kingston 240gb
hdd: seagate 2tb
so any clue? havent overclocked anything.
i did a fresh install of windows for some weeks ago since i got my ssd. And after i upgraded my cpu and cabinet, my computer is freezing all the time. My cpu temp is stable at 35c and around 40-50c when im gaming. I scanned for virus and removed all of it.

I have also updated my bios to the f8f version (beta version) when i got my fx 8350.. http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3907#bios

my gpu temp is stable at 47c and under load and gaming about 55-60c
please answer. Need help

First off..please remove that any inappropriate language from your post...its against forum rules.

Now for your problem....Have you installed the standoffs and screwed the board correctly into all of them?

okeyy..

yes!

but when i installed the cabinet, it was two cables (sound) ac97 or hd audio. I have tried to switch both of them, and the comp is still freezing.

Try removing all your components and running the system on a test bench cardboard box such as the motherboard box.

This will help eliminate grounding issues.

anything else i could try?

boosted1g · Jan 26, 2015

How did you scan for viruses? DId you use malwarebytes?

What is your CPU and Memory usage in task manager?

boosted1g · Jan 26, 2015

Also do you have both 4pin cpu cables pluged in, or just the 1?

haugabodl97 · Jan 26, 2015

memory : 40 %

Hello, plz help

Did you try the external build?

haugabodl97 · Jan 27, 2015

tambeshakunt :

hmm, what do u mean with that?

tambeshakunt · Jan 28, 2015

I mean the build, out of the case, on a cardboard box.

Install your CPU,Cooler, RAM, GPU and Drives to your board. Nothing else. Connect all the required power cables from your PSU and then see if it helps the problem.

This external build (out of the case) will be able to test if the motherboard standoffs in the case are causing grounding issues.

I've done that now, the only cables from my cabinet is the power button and the led lights

tambeshakunt · Jan 28, 2015

what do you mean ??

haugabodl97 · Jan 28, 2015

tambeshakunt :

i've only plugged in the cables that need to start the pc

tambeshakunt · Jan 29, 2015

Ok and does it start?

Here is a good guide for an external build if you aren't sure what I mean:http://youtu.be/d_56kyib-Ls?t=5m30s
