Recently I upgraded my FX 6300 to an FX 8350. I soon realized it wasnt compatible with my old motherboard so i had to upgrade it. I upgraded to the ASRock 970A-G/3.1 AM3+ Socket Motherboard. It was like a new pc build since I had to take everything out of my case besides my hard drive and power supply. The first start up was fine. I got on and updated my drivers for my motherboard. I then realized that my windows wasn't authenticated so I had to talk to windows to get that resolved. After everything was finished, I decided to play some overwatch. Midway through the game, my screen froze and I had to restart my pc. This happened two other times after this. My temps while gaming were 80 on my GPU, 40 on my Motherboard, and 50-60 on my CPU. Any help would be apriciated because I have no clue what is causing this. Also, I have a Zotac GTX 970 and I have 10 GB of ram. One stick is a 2GB from a random company from an old prebuilt pc and the other stick is an 8GB Ballistix stick. This ram configuration worked fine with my old motherboard but not sure if there would be problems with the new one.
