Hello folks.
It has been quite a journy, building a computer on my own.
It all started two weeks ago, when i decided to upgrade my graphic card.
I bought a Radeon R7 x260 got home and installed it but it didn't display anything on the screen, so i googled for two days and found out that my motherboard only supports up to PCI 2.0, and the graphic card needs PCI 3.0, so i when out and bought a Asus B85M-G got home and installed the new motherboard but then ofc, the processor didn't fit, so the next day i whenout and bought a new Haswell Processor Intel Celeron G1840 CPU cooler was included. I still had my old win7 installed on my harddrive due to the fact that i thought this was gonna be a simple task, plug n' play as i call it. it really wasn't. i kept getting BSOD and USB overcurrent. took me about a week to figure out that i had to reinstall win7. Finally i got everything working and running, spend about 1 day updating drivers and so on.
Another problem arrived. Whenever i opened a game, either the computer or game crashed.
The games im playing is typically, Black Ops 2, Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 4.
Whenever i runned Black ops or Modern Warfare it crashed my computer with BSOD error code 0x00000116
I spend a few days reading about this and figured it might be a problem due to my PSU only capable of giving MAX 460 Watt. so today i just bought a brand new Corsair CX750M ATX Power Supply its now installed but the problem seems to persist. i managed to get rid of the BSOD by uninstalling AMD Gaming
Im still left with the crash issue. although sometimes i actually get to play a game but it tents to freeze randomly when most activity is happening doing the gameplay.
I've been reading A LOT on those known issues and all seems to have their special opinion on how to solve this. It has come to my attention that it sure is a known problem for ASUS with the graphic card overheating.
Havn't been able to find a solution for the overheating problem. Many have been saying that it's due to dust, but i doubt that since its all brand new ( and yes i did check to be save )
One thing that has caught my eye, is that when a game either crashes or freezes, i get a notification telling me that my amd driver stopped responding and has recovered. Did my research on it and tried a couple of things, such as reinstalling graphic driver and some stuff in the registry.
Just wanna point out that the graphic card is bought private, so no guarantee.
I've runned a test of my build to see the temperature when i go from desktop to in-game
Here are all the data i got when running the test
My New Computer Specs:
Monitor: HP 23xi IPS LEd Backlit Monitor
Motherboard: B85M-G
Power Supply: Corsair CX750M
Processor: Intel Celeron G1840
Graphic Card: Gigabyte Radeon R7 x260 oc 2gb
Ram: 8GB
Thanks for reading my novel, hope you can help me.
Best regards
