Hellooo.
Basically, everytime i play games such as FSX:SE, GTA V, COD etc my computer locks up and i have to hard restart it. However today it even crashed while watching youtube.
I originally thought either temps are too high or nt enough power. i unplugged a 6 pin connector from my GPU (Removes it from OC mode, using less power), no difference (Apart from my card LED's change color when gaming).
I installed two new corsair case fans, put them at the top of the case, exhausting air, andd manually set all fans to FULL 100% while gaming (Apart from PSU fan, that's automatic and doesn't run when the PC is cool).
When idle, temps are:
9ffdc0632b7ba85b1b11694b0c08287f

(i will edit when i catch gaming temps, however case fan controller says the ambient is about 35*c when gaming, 21*c when idle)
No noise, no graphics glitches, nothing. It just freezes, locks up and i have to press thee reset button.
Specs:
Windows 10 Pro x64 10586
AMD FX 9590 (8 Core, 4.7Ghz, 5.1Ghz turbo)
ASUS Croshair V Formula Z
Kingston Hyper X Savage 8GB x2 1600Mhz
MSI R9 290X Lightning 4GB GPU
Kingston 240GB SSD
Seagate 2TB HDD
Corsair 750X PSU
Corsair H80I CPU Cooler
4 Corsair case fans, with a NZXT Touchscreen fan controller.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Tyler

Its about 8 weeks old, max, plus no overclock.
one review:
" Initially, I would have given this CPU 1 egg. While playing games, browsing the web, or opening programs I would get random freezes. Lower end games wouldn't cause any issues, but as soon as I played something with higher end requirements (like Fallout4) I would get freezes and crashes consistently. I suffered with this for a while trying everything I could think of to fix it. Finally one day I decided to turn off the AMD turbo boost in my BIOS (which boosts the chip from 4.7 to 5.0+ghz) and instantly all of my problems were resolved. Now the chip stays at a constant 4.7ghz all the time, no crashes or freezes, and my rig runs incredibly fast."
So im going to do that now, then play FSX:SE and i will post back results.

And
"Random freezes, even on a supported board and overly powerful 1300 watt power supply. I had this on a Crosshair V Formula Z, which was rated as the best match for this processor. It runs hot, even with liquid cooling. The Windows 7 system would freeze randomly, and the cores were throwing error codes in the system logs."
I have exactly that, odd core errror messages in event viewer
