Hello! Here are my specs:
CPU: AMD FX-8320
GPU: R9 290 (powercolor)
MOBO: Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3
PSU: EVGA 750w gold
RAM: 1x 8gb stick
So my pc crashes almost immediately (<2 mins) when I try to play any game, but is just fine when I run benchmarks like Valley Benchmark and FurMark.
I did a fresh wipe and install of my GPU drivers to no avail. I checked my temps and they are fine. My PSU is highly rated and 750w is overkill so I don't think that's it. I even ran memtest86 with 0 errors after an hour.
I don't see any other reason except that I just have a bum GPU... but before I bite the bullet and buy a new one, I thought I would try to get some answers first.
Is there anything else I need to be testing? All of my parts are at factory clocks.
EDIT: I just got the computer to freeze up the same way it does in games by running prime95 (blended) after about 15 minutes. What could this mean?
