AMD FX 8350 Unexpected Shutdowns

kahlilnc · Apr 30, 2016

This is my setup
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/kahlilnc/saved/KrcJ7P

I have tried numerous things such as lowering the volts the cpu will use in the bios. (When I set the volts higher than 1.25 it makes this weird static noise. I lowered it to as low as 1.2 and still powers off. I tried lowering it because it was a suggestion and I guess it worked for some others but not me obviously.) I bought a better PSU. I have bought a new and better fan. And none of it seems to work. Because it just keeps powering off whilst playing games.

Some pics inside my bios:

Playing Dota 2 Right now and temps are as shown: http://imgur.com/xGpuSFu
I've noticed CPU temps go as high as 67 before a power outage.

What are your thoughts?

Sounds like a overheating issue. What are the temps while gaming?

You could have also damages the xpu. Why did you turn up the voltage?

Your CPU is way too hot are you OCing this?

If you are don't that cooler is not enough for that.

arkrival :

The voltage is actually lower than default. Default is like at 1.375. I have it at 1.25 rn.
And no I'm not over clocking as far as I'm concerned.

what makes you think its your cpu causing the shutdowns?

kahlilnc · Apr 30, 2016

I'm not sure. but I know for a fact it isn't the psu

huvik · Apr 30, 2016

you should monitor your temps with Overdrive, its a lot more accurate.

Are you sure you mounted your cooler correctly? what are you GPU temps? is your GPU overclocked?

Any idea on what I should do from here? These are the pictures of my computers status according to Overdrive.

you manually selected 1.25 for volt but bios says it's 1.75.
do you use virtual machine? svm is enabled and core c6 is enabled but cool n quiet is disabled.
have you updated bios? it looks like from voltage that something is wrong with mobo. 1.5 is max unless you don't care for pc.

tominsac · Apr 30, 2016

your hypertransport speed should be set at 2600 MHz, check your memory settings in bios, you have 1600 but overdrive says it's set at 1066

tominsac · Apr 30, 2016

clear cmos, if you haven't already

tominsac :

So I did what you recommended me to do. I tested it out by streaming Dota 2. The cpu temp still gets around 69 degrees and warns me. I believe this is when it usually shuts off on me. Should I show you the current bios settings now? I don't know what to do exactly.

Update: It got around 79 degrees before shutting off on me

tominsac · Apr 30, 2016

Is your cpu fan spinning? how much thermal paste did you use? check your cpu backplate screws tightness. (I've seen them loosen)

tominsac · Apr 30, 2016

yes if you can show bios

These are my current BIOS settings.

tominsac · Apr 30, 2016

all I can see is you have cpu volt set to manual and bios reads the same as you have set it to. and your memory can be faster if you set to XMP, I believe there is a switch next to your memory modules for "easy XMP" Enable. otherwise did you double check your processor mount?

And yeah I'm going to check the processor mount with a friend of mine who might be able to tell me more about what's going on internally when I have it open.
