Hey guys,
I am currently having an issue with my current custom built Windows 10 machine that I have not had before in previous setups. I do a lot of video and audio work, and right now I am having a crash/reboot issue when rendering/encoding video.
My last PC I built was running Windows 7 ultimate with an AMD 6 core processor (I can not remember the exact model off the top of my head.) I had no issues with that processor on my previous motherboard when it came to using Handbrake or Sony Vegas to encode/render video. I could use it for hours on end, with the processor getting pushed to the max for hours at a time without issues.
Last September I upgraded my machine. I have a cooler master haf X case with 3 major 120mm intake fans, and one outtake on the back. I am running Windows 10 pro with an AMD FX-8350 8 core processor on a GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD5 R5 (rev. 1.0) board. The processor has the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO heat sink with Arctic 5 paste on it. Ram is G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900).
Up until now, I have not been doing any super heavy processor tasks on this machine for long periods of time. When I put it together, I used Prime95 for a solid hour or so with CPUID Hardware monitor watching my temps. I did not experience any issues. I am NOT overclocking at all, and I use the old Windows gadgets setup with ALL CPU Meter gadget to monitor the processor load.
Recently, I have been getting random restarts and blue screens when rendering video. I was able to render for several hours with Sony Vegas the other day. The processor was not being used at full load; maybe half load. Each render was about an hour and half, and I was able to render maybe 4or 5 tasks without issue. Then, all of a sudden, it started rebooting by itself when I would try to render more down. It even froze up at one point, forcing me to do a manual reset. I do not let a screen saver come on, nor do I let it go into lock mode for my user name during rendering. So there are really no other tasks going on when i am doing this stuff.
When using the software Handbrake to encode video, I have no issues with short files that only run for a couple of minuets, but as soon as I have a clip that takes 5 to 20 minuets, I get a reboot or blue screen about 1/4 of the way through it.
One of the days where I was rendering for several hours, I kept CPUID open to monitor my cpu temps. When idle or doing general tasks, it runs anywhere between 15 degrees Celsius to 25 Celsius. Under full load using Handbreak, the hottest it reads is 41 Celsius with an average of 36 to 38.
I can encode short clips that only take a minuet or two just fine, but if it's estimating to be a longer encode of 5 to 20 minuets, it only gets 1/3 of the way finished and then blue screens or reboots.
And like I said, when rendering with Sony Vegas the one day, I was able to do several hours, then all of a sudden it started to freeze or reboot. I shut down for the night, came back the next day and rendered a couple files just fine, then 3 or 4 files in, it rebooted by itself.
Is there something I may have missed in my setup? Is there anything else I should be looking at to see why this is happening? Thanks in advance for any help/replies.
