I just got my new amd fx-9590 CPU and after doing some research I found that it was compatible with my current mobo and everything so I ordered it. After installing it and booting into Windows after checking the bios settings it somehow freezes while doing nothing. Just after a couple of minutes it just freezes everything. Nothing is responsive and Windows is completely frozen but it still boots up fine?
When I checked the CPU tempreture in the bios and on safe mode (which was fine) it was hanging around the 50-60c mark which I know is worrying on idle but I believed my cooler could handle it.
The other weird thing is that everything is fine in safe mode. I can use it without issue but then going to normal Windows GUI it freezes.
Any help would be appreciated!
Would I just have to get a new cooling unit?
Specs:
MOBO: Asus Sabertooth fx990 r2.0
CPU (New): Amd fx-9590
CPU(Old with failing hyper threading): AMD fx-8520
Cooler: cooler master seidon 120v
PSU: Corsair cx 750m
Graphics card: MSI R9 280X
(Side note: The old CPU's hyper threading was starting to fail but still worked ok.)
