Hi folks!
I was wondering if some kind gentlemen could help me as I'm having no end of trouble with this PC.
I built it myself and it worked fine until I threw some upgrades into the mix, and although I know my way around a computer - I'm not so great at the in depth stuff.
Basically, on Monday, I installed a new Graphics card (from AMD R9 270 2Gb to AMD R9 390 8GB) and PSU (from EVGA 500w fixed cables to Corsair CX75O ATX/EPS 80 PLUS bronze 750w). After removing the old drivers, I installed the graphics card and downloaded the most up to date drivers for it. After this the speed of my PC dropped dramatically, and windows would be horrifically slow. After some trouble shooting and a lot of headaches - I did a clean re-install windows and this seemed to sort the issue. Hooray! After this I decided to buy some new ram, I decided to upgrate from 2x4gb Corsair Vengence 1600mhz to 2x8gb HyperX Fury 1866mhz. After upgrading my RAM I've run into a strange problem being minutes after I launch a game or Chrome, my pc either; Freezes with video until hard reset, or goes black screen and resets to bios start up.
I've tried all sorts to fix this, including constant rebuilds. I've checked the ram separately and both work fine on their own and after 20 minutes or so of either gaming or scrolling the internet, it hasn't frozen. *I seat the ram in slots 2 & 4 of the motherboard*
Am I missing something obvious?
Any help would be massively appreciated!
Full system specs;
ASUS m5a78l-m/usb3 MOBO
AMD MSI R9 390 8GB OC Edition GPU
AMD FX6100 6-core 3.30GHz
2x8gb HyperX Fury 1866mhz RAM
Hitachi HDS721010DLE630 ATA HDD
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Thanks,
JustHaggis
*EDIT* I've just noticed my bios version/date is - American Megatrends Inc. 1103, 23/02/2012.
...is this bad?
