PC locks up within 30 minutes of gaming.

MightyCocoTree · Nov 3, 2015

Okay, so my pc completely locks up usually within 15-30 minutes of gaming. No overheating, reinstalled Windows 8.1, deleted partitions etc.. Did a run with Prime95 and thread/core 4 stopped working after about 3 minutes, then about a minute later my pc froze up on me requiring me to shutdown completely. Will give pc specs if needed. Please help!

I just installed the same processor as you, fx-9590 and I am having this same problem. Complete hard lock about 5 minutes into playing games. Did you ever find a fix for this? I'm on win7

Well the temps look good. Not sure to be honest. My first thought is that power supply, its not very good at all and that 9590 sucks power AMD actually recommends a 1000watt psu when using the 9590. Your system wont use 1000watts, but you may be getting somewhat close to that psu's max rated 700watts under load and the poor quality components it uses probably dont like that one bit.
