First of all hello to the whole community!
Like my title says I came here because I am having trouble with my PC freeze while doing a stress test on the CPU with Prime95, but I will try to be short and tell all necessary information.
So I bought a new CPU and GPU, put it into my Desktop PC and tried to run some stress tests, after a while I got into trouble while stress testing my CPU, it always randomly freezes, another very important information is that always when I ran the test, Prime95 got a false result from two(always random two) cores and disabled them after 2~3 min into the test. So here is everything I could found out:
- Is the freeze because of the overheating?
Could not be, I have water cooling system and while preforming the test my CPUs maximum heat was from 62~64 degree before freeze, I don't think that's the case.
- Why does it disable two of your cores?
I googled a bit the error Prime95 gives me and what I found out is that its two possibility's, 1st) those two cores are destroyed, but that's not my case because if they would be it would be always the same cores, but after several tests it were always different cores that were disabled. 2nd) The core returns a failed calculation back and Prime95 sees that error and says the core is bad, why? people with similar problems say its because the Core does not have enough voltage to calculate, for my specific processor the normal core voltage is around 1,6~1.8 (if I googled correctly). But from the monitoring tools and the maximum what I can put in BIOS, it is 1.4, which could be why the failed calculation comes trough. The solution for this problem was kinda not clear, it could be because of the motherboard being too old or PSU not strong enough. So I don't know.
- What did I try to fix?
1)In my BIOS give more voltage to the processor but I cant. It seems like it already has the maximum
2)For Temporary Fix I Disabled two of my cores in BIOS and it works normally.
- Did you try to run the stress test with 2 less cores?
Yes and the Prime95 came trough the whole stress test without problem with maximum of 59 degrees. For now I am using this fix to do all my stuff on my pc but this is only temporary. So I seek help.
So what I kinda came up with is that it might be the motherboard being to old or the PSU working really at the edge and when stress testing its just too much for him. But I am not sure, so pleas if anyone can help me that would be amazing
