Specs:
Motherboard- Asus 990fx r2.0
CPU- AMD 9590 @4.7ghz (liquid cooler kit)
Ram- 16 Gb ram (normally 32Gb)
*PSU Rosewill 600w Gold certified
4 fans for airflow 1 for liquid cooler
Graphics- EVGA GTX 970

My computer has been freezing up ever since I installed my GTX 970. To my knowledge the Gtx 970 requires 500 watts. I have 600 but I also use the new AMD 9590 which requires a payload of power. Previously I had a cheap sapphire r9 270x installed. Horrible performance but never froze. The computer only crashes during long hours of use, idle or games like company of heroes 2, Rainbow Six Siege, or any cpu hungry games.
Things I suspect:
Motherboard not outputting enough power
AMD 9590 sucking up power
Gtx 970 pulling too much power
Need a better PSU

also my computer seems extremely loud, was thinking about corsair h100i

Thanks for the response

still maybe the full system power draw maybe too much for your psu to handle ? starts heating up and starts to fail [your close and may not be of good build quality ??]

psu is like your hart in build if you got a strong healthy one your good but if it like a old smoker that a fat butt , well ???? now lets run them up hill with a load on there backs and see who fails ?? [opinion]

you now got a lot of power sucking parts in now so .... and cant find much on rosewell psu reviews ?? and to be honest them 220w cpu's lots have issues with them as well

first 5 threads are on freezing ??

can be the vrm on the mb. a lot of the amd mb dont have vrm to handle that cpu that an energy hog. 600w when looking at a power supply is not the real output. the 600w is broken up between the 12v rails and 3v and 5v rails. with 12v rails that power the gpu and cpu. when you look at the wattage ie 700w it 12v * amp load =wattage.
when you look at a cpu that says 120w and a 300w gpu add them up 420w is 12v *35 amps. if your power supply is rated for 500w on the 12v rail add up the max wattage of the cpu and gpu. then make sure you have 100w more then needed to cover the fans and drives in the case. if you get to close to 12v rail max output under load the power supply may not be holding the 12v rail up to atx spec. you can see this in the bios if the 12v rail under 12v or with hardware info 64 turn on sensor and logging and see if the 12v rail drops when gaming.

most time's thats as total system power with a certin build configuration and using that part - to me if its 600w I go at least 750 or greater cause you cant depend on a 650 to hold at full load for any amount of time and then the units build quality is not so good ??

then if you overclock anything that adds to that as well

anymore I don't concider any thing less that a top tier quality 850w for todays stuff as far as a gaming rig [opinion]

like said here on this card

•600 Watt or greater power supply.****

''****Minimum system power requirement based on a PC configured with an Intel Core i7 3.2GHz processor.''

Okay so basically I need to get a new PSU if I decide to upgrade/overlock. I was going to go with the corsair RMX 1000w, would that be overkill or is that a safe choice for upgrade ect.?

maybe ? is that asus a sabbertooth ?? if it is and anything like my 3 sabbertooths may still be the board ?? lol my ''last'' asus's were my'' last''

all then sabertooth did for me was sink there saberteeth in to my bill fold and nothing ever worked right or stable [just my opinion on that ]
