PC freezing on high end games. NOOB PC BUILDER PLZ HELP

De1eet · Apr 22, 2016

CPU: AMD FX 9590 AM3+
GPU: AMD XFX R9 390 8GB
RAM: TEAM DARK 8GB x2
MB: ASUS 970 PRO GAMING
POWER SUPPLY: THERMALTAKE SP-750
CPU COOLER: Freezer XTREME REV.2
HD: TOSHIBA 1TB HDD P300
OS: WINDOWS 10
CASE: GALAXY-01

I have a AMD fx9590 with xfx r9 390 in a build I somewhat pieced together along with the help of a shop. I had the guy working on it for about 3 weeks. First he told me it was the video card (which was a r9 380 at the time.) So I changed it out to a R9 390 because I was thinking it was just a GPU issue. So he sent it back and after about 2 weeks he changed it out. Still the same issue. So now he is saying it is a CPU issue. Everywhere I've looked it seems to be the issue THO it seems like this dude doesn't know wtf he is talking about. I know I hardly know what is going on but I am a quick learner.

Anyways after looking at other issues people have posted I relate to most but I'm not 100% on the whole pc building thing. Anyways I've done a couple experiments (if you can call them that).

NOTE: I have a older PC with a mid setup and it works fine with the games I play. That aside here is what I've done.

1. After the pc shop guy told me it was my video card I placed it into my older pc and it worked fine after the ordering of the newer one (which I should of done at the start to rule that out.)

2. I've put a box fan onto said build on full blast and it ran fine for hours till I had to go to bed for work.

Reasons I think it is freezing up over.

1. Case air flow. Where the fans are they Look ill placed and looks as if they do not help.

2. CPU getting hot because of factory issues or something along those lines.

3. Thermal paste applied poorly.

4. Again CPU issues but maybe due to cooler.

Definitely your PSU. And if it's not, then it will be soon. You are boasting two extremely power hungry and inefficient pieces of hardware. (Your 390 and most certainly your 9590)

That is not a CPU to play around with when it comes to how much power it consumes. You might need to sell your car when you see your next electricity bill

^ What?

It's no more demanding that running 2 graphics cards in a system. That made no sense to me.

@OP Your motherboard isn't compatible with your CPU, you're putting too much load on the VRM.

That's going to be an issue down the line, but if it's not right now, then it's likely your CPU cooler not being able to keep it below 67 C while gaming, which is when your whole OS will freeze, followed by a shutdown, or a bluescreen to prevent damage to the CPU.

All the best!

If it doesn't make much sense then research the 9590 and its ridiculous power consumption.

No different than running CF huh?

Recommends a 1kW PSU going by your logic

In reality, the 9590 paired with that GPU at the very very bare minimum requires a quality 750W unit of which the thermaltake is not..

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Apr 23, 2016

Recommends a 1kW PSU because there are a lot of crap PSU's out there. Recomendations are always overkill. OP's power draw wouldn't even peak above 500W... Yeah, the PSU matters a lot, not just the wattage, but raw wattage 750W is overkill.

MasterDell · Apr 23, 2016

Going to be my last poster because I've stated my facts.

That system would definitely exceed 500W. A none-naive load at about 95-100% which can happen would be a DC output of about 580W-600W. To estimate what PSU that would require we look at the efficiency of that PSU, Bronze, and use that efficiency at peak load which on a Bronze unit is .82. With a simple calculation of eff=dc out/ac in, we would find that a PSU (AC in rating ) of 730W is a bare minimum. That's assuming that temperature is optimal, capacitor aging doesn't exist, and Thermaltake makes a perfect PSU that passed QA with flying colours which is highly unlikely

That is all, good luck in finding your solution OP

Suzuki@1473780084@1473780163 · Apr 23, 2016

Wattage a PSU can deliver isn't affected by the efficiency. Efficiency is how much is lost during converting, which is turned to heat. If it wants 500W, then you don't add anything. You're making up your "fact".

its your cpu in combination with your poweruspply.
seriously we had so many people with complainments about that cpu even with a seasonic you will fry that motherboard/cpu.
that cpu is very unreliable.

even worse that cpu doesnt even go together with your mobo.

I have the same cpu but with a asus v crosshair formula z mb and a corsair h80igt cooler and I get the same problem, sometimes it freezes sometimes it dosent. So I think it could be a psu problem
