If you overclocked it, the FX-6100 would be an incredible value for a budget system.

Since thats not the case, I vote i5

Thing is. ive the FX6100 atm and every time i render a video in movie making software (ive tried vegas pro, camtasia, movie maker) my pc crashes, my screen freezes / locks although my pc is still on...

Would you be able to assist with me with that D:?

i dont really know how to do that, but i used OCCT and tested it, around 16 seconds into the test it stopped because of an error. i tested again and it went for about.... 1m 30s and them my computer just shut down and restarted.

I just realised that inside my computer my CPU fan and my PSU fans are spinning backwards? i just got a new psu yesterday and it just instantly started spinning backwards.

i cant get my tempatures on cpuid because its just saying 'trial'
