I recently built a computer and it will freeze. I am thinking that I do not have a good enough heatsink for the CPU, after running it for 24hrs+ the UEFI BIOS gave a cpu temp. reading of 51 C That seems high for just idling. In my experience if a computer is overheating it has always shutdown, never froze.
MOBO: ASUS SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 AM3+
CPU: AMD FX-9590 Vishera 8-Core 4.7GHz Socket AM3+ 220W
Heat sink: Arctic Freezer 7 Prov2 77 (Only rated for 150 Watts I know but I had to get something quick and this was the only thing available.)
