Hi, I have the following setup,
Asus 990x board
AMD 8 core cpu
32gb 1600 ram (4x8)
R9 380 gpu
Cougar 700w psu
The ram and gpu were put in about a month ago, the rest is about 2yo, I am slowly upgrading.
My problem: (long story).
Was running win 10, about 1 week ago got a temporary profile issue that tech forums and google couldn't help me with.
Cause is still unknown
Restore did not fix it, I had no repair disk (online upgrade).
I gave up and did a clean install with my win 8.1 disk, however once all up and running again I started getting BSOD for a memory management error.
My ram passed every test I threw at it, ext win mem diag, memtest, swapping sims around, etc.
I tried upping the voltage by 0.5v as suggested on other posts, but was met with overclock failure messages on bootup (part of why I suspect psu).
I can still get into windows and use the browsers for a while, but large downloads or too much multitasking seem to bring on the BSOD.
So, is the psu the likely culprit, or am I missing something here? (just for the record, i'm no expert, so i'm hoping for simple fixes).
