So i put this together the end of last year; Asrock AB350 Pro4, R5 1400, 16gb Corsair Vengeance, 600w PSU, GTX1050 TI,Samsung SSD. It was all running good until it wasn't...lol. I chased a defective memory module as I swapped them around and eventually decide it was bad. Corsair replaced the kit. I put it all back together and started just locking up after about 5 minutes of use. Running CPUID I can see that my utilization is bouncing to 100% on 6 of the 8. I tied swapping the graphics card for my old GT640 that was on the shelf but nothing changed. The bios is the latest and I removed the Nvidia drivers for a fresh install. I don't game on that machine so it's just weird. I am typing this from my laptop as I watch the CPUID. Is it just a driver nightmare or maybe some hardware acting crazy? Thanks everyone.
