PC Freezes only on certain games

DDamori · Jan 20, 2017

So, whenever the new GTX 10 series came out, i redid my build. its only 5 months old, and i seem to be having issues with my pc randomly freezing,

PC Specs
CPU-AMD 6350-4.0ghz 6 cores
CPU COOLER-NZXT Kraken x61
MOBO-Asus 970 pro/gaming Aura
PSU-generic 600w
RAM-Corsair Vengence 16gb 2133mhz
CASE-NZXT H440 Razer edition
GPU-Asus GTX 1070 Strix
SSD-1x 480gb BP5E
HDD-1x WD 1.5tb
1x WD 320gb
1x WD 500gb
OS-Windows 10Pro 64-bit

At first, i thought it was my cpus overclock settings, so i reverted my bios back to default and still had issues. Ive ran virus checks through Windows Defender and IO Bit advanced system care, checked my RAM, checked my CPU and GPU operating temperatures, defraged and checked all of my hard drives, as well as made sure all my drivers are up to date Ive not been able to fix the solutions.

Out of the list of games i play(below)

Dragon Age 1-Inquisition
Skyrim(Perfectly modded edition)
League of Legends
Black Desert Online
Doom
Ark

The only ones it hangs up on are(below)
Doom
Ark
Black Desert Online

The only thing ive not tried to do is re-install my OS(Windows 10Pro 64-bit)

Any and all help is MUCH appreciated. Thanks guys.

Well my first thought would be the "generic 600watt" psu you listed. Does the freezing happen only under load like when playing the games you listed? Has a freeze ever occurred at idle or under light load?

DDamori · Jan 20, 2017

Yes, only ever under load. My idle temps are

CPU-18-28c
GPU-35-41c

Anytime i have my pc under a decent load, it tends to freeze up. The games i listed are the only ones i play that i feel actually stress my system.

I had assumed it might be the PSU, which i ~believe~ is an Antec. And a slightly older one at that.

DDamori :

Antec is a very well know power supply vendor, they have a lot of good psu's. Look at the label on the power supply for a brand and model number.

What you are describing is exactly what happens to me when I push an overclock too far, I never get blue screens or restarts its always just a system lock up that only a hard reset with fix. What is your cpu core voltage set to?

Also I might try setting your ram speeds to 1866mhz and see if that helps, fx cpu's can struggle to run 2133mhz ram stable especially without a sizable overclock to the cpu. I cant get my FX 6350 system to run my ram at 2133mhz stable no matter the timings or ram voltage.

So, the PSU is an Antex EA-650.
This is my FIRST time over clocking, and without alot of guides on my MOBO and CPU itself im sure its bound to be off.

Edit:Ive also set my Ram to 1866mhz instead of 2133mhz. However, the freezing still continues after ive set my bios to default and stopped the over clocking on my system.

The CPU Offset is on 0.087500 for the multiplier

CPU Offset Voltage-1.404
CPU/NB Offset voltage 1.350
CPU VODA Voltage 2.526
DRAM Voltage-1.520
NB Voltage-1.119
NB HT Voltage-1.189

EDIT: it also seems like my GPU is at 90% or above when it freezes, ive not seen it go much about 60% almost ever. Dont know if this could be the issue or not.
