Hey, so straight into it I am having a problem playing games, I am going to use battlefield 1 for an example as it is the most recent game I am playing.
So I have tried loads of thing to fix this issue I updated my driver ofc, I did a clean install of windows 10 pro, I have used Cclean prier to upgrading to windows 10, did a couple other things I don't really remember.
So I have come to the conclusion it might be hardware related.. :(
I used a program called prime95, it told me that some of the cores weren't working "Illegal sumout" according to some people this means I am not getting enough power to the CPU and it is causing my pc to restart and the game to crash, while playing battlefield 1 mind you or games it has happened but not as often as battlefield 1.

I have absolutely not idea why it does this I have tried so much! It has BSoD, restarted, shut off at times and the game mostly just "Battlefield 1 has stopped working"
My specs are.
Amd 8350 @4.0ghz
(not sure on motherboard sorry!)
16gb of ram
5400 rpm 1tb hdd
X-viper 650w power supply
GTX 1060 6gb

Not sure, my father seems to think the same way about the motherboard. When I look at it I know its gigabyte am3+ erp ready. It doesn't say much more on it or at least from what I can see. It was fairly cheap when I got it and that was a couple of years ago now. Also will be testing the power supply when I find a software too do so.
