Let's play a game. "What the fuck is wrong with my pc?"

Basically if I'm playing video games, namely Overwatch, for about 5-10 minutes, or watching youtube in Chrome for an hour, my pc will freeze and I have to force a restart. If I use firefox it freeze up only rarely, usually if I open a couple of videos at once. PC was built in May, It started happening infrequently at first and happened more over time. I switched to Windows 7 and it didn't have any issue for a while then the same thing started happening. I've now done a fresh install on a different freshly formatted HD and disconnected all of my old ones, and I've switched video cards, and reinstalled again, and its freezing at the 5 minute mark again. Event logs report nothing happening out side of an unexpected powerdown. I work from home using the same computer and while I'm working it doesn't freeze once. No video, no games, connecting to a VPN if that matters.

It seems its likely to be something hardware related but I'm not sure what. Mobo? Power? Ram? I can find my parts list if you need specifics.

Worth nothing is that those times aren't exaggerations. Anytime I try a fix, I use Overwatch as my test to see if its fixed. On occasion I will be able to complete a game, but that is usually only when we do really well or really terrible and the game ends quickly.

I had this exact issue and no joke it was my fucking microphone that was doing it. Dunno how but the driver was really messing with the system. Once I reinstalled the driver it worked perfectly.

I don't see the word "temperature" anywhere there in your life story.

Are you logging system temperatures and looking at what they hit before the last crash?

MoBo: Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 R5
Processor: FD9590FHHKWOF Fx-9590 with silverstone td03-e cooler
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz
Power Supply: Corsair RMx Series, RM1000x, 1000W
Video card: already swapped, no change
Hard Drives: Swapped twice, no change
Case has Two huge intake fans in the bottom, two 120mm in the front, another on the side directly on to the back of the mobo where the processor is, ,one exhaust fan in the back, and lots of ventilation in the top. Kept core temp running for a while, does not appear to be overheating. Plus its getting colder here and yet the issue happens more frequently.

I use my headset for 11 hours straight with no issues when I'm working ( I do over the phone tech support for an ISP) and it doesn't freeze once. But I'll try anything once.

>Kept core temp running for a while, does not appear to be overheating. Plus its getting colder here and yet the issue happens more frequently.

Log ALL temperatures and ALL voltages. Constantly log to file.

Next time it freezes, reboot and look at the last temps and voltages.

Taken after the freeze. Had just finished a a five minute succesful defense game and was in the score screen when it froze.

Sounds like either a mobo/processor heat issue. Or power supply. Redone the thermal paste?

>9590

Have you made sure your mobo is one that can reliably supply the amount of wattage needed for that cpu?

I know some Am3+ mobos were basically made to handle 8350 tier wattage but couldn't handle the amount of draw for the 9590.

What do you imagine you're showing us?

Do this:

Don't come back until you've done that.

check everything is seated properly on motherboard.

we shouldn't be encouraging this

You need new gpu and soundcard

>136 C
There's your problem...

Faranheit not celsius

You idle at 2F above freezing?

Yeah it overheats

If you look at the screenshot I posted there is an F next to the temperature. I think those first few readings were screwy. But ambient temperature in my room is about 60.

IDEA
What could be causing it to read my temperature incorrectly, and could that be causing other issues?

I looked up the 990FXA with the 9590 and they seem to be compatible, but in doing so I stumbled upon a thread of someone with similar issues. They reported turning off Turbo Mode in the Bios fixed the issue for them. I tried it and on the first attempt it froze at about 15 minutes instead of the usual 5. It could be an outlier but I feel like I'm heading in the right direction.

>soundcard
just buy a USB-DAC

What's your psu? I've also seen power supplies do this with 9590's

I had a similar issue with a gigabyte am3+ (970 chipset, not 990fx) board. I swapped every single god damn part in the computer, but the only thing that fixed my freezing was swapping motherboard and cpu to a haswell system. Hdds, ram, gpu, fans, wifi adapter (inb4), case lights, all the same.
I had the same thing where event viewer was totally empty. I'm convinced that gigabyte boards from that era all have this problem with Vishera.

I'm thinking those temps actually are in Celsius. The range looks about right. Idle at 34, EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN at 135. If your fan control software thinks it's Fahrenheit, that would probably explain all your problems.

I went in to CoreTemp settings and switched it to Fahrenheit because I am more familiar with those numbers. Like I know 0 is cold and 100 is hot in Celsius, but I can't parse 36C as easily as I can 96F. I've switched over to Celsius, and while I am idling, just listening to some music and writing, I'm getting temps between 2 and 29. I can get some readings under load again if that will suffice.

Like I don't doubt that overheating might be the problem but I'm not the one misreading the temperature. It's the computer. If the computer thinks its running colder than it is, maybe the cooler isn't kicking in when it needs to. Why? How fix?

>can't parse something that's a percentile scale
jesus christ

Corsair RMx Series, RM1000x, 1000W

I tried unplugging all drives except one hard drive to see if it helped, the only other things plugged in were mobo, video card, cooler, and 6 fans. No change.

Oh so, 100C is 212 in Fahrenheit. So 50C is 106 in Fahrenheit, and 25C is 53F. (Its not.)

I know Celsius well enough that that if I was reading it in a weather report I would have a good idea on whether or not to bring a jacker, but being able to compare it to the exact ambient temperature in my room, which my thermostat reads in F, as well as how much its jumping back and forth isn't as easy. But switching a setting in the program is. So I just do that.

Shouldn't have issues with that. Then again, it might not be an incompatibility, could be an actual faulty part.
Can you try in the bios drop the clocks and voltage to the 8350 levels? See if it still freezes then.

I had the same problem in the past, but in my case it was an WiFi card causing the problem.
I would recommend to remove different components until you find the cause of the problem, as other user said, it can be random peripherals, like an microphone.
Good luck user.

Okay, yeah. Either the CPU heat sensor is borked, or your mobo is reading the sensor output wrong.
My guess would be the latter, since your computer isn't literally catching fire Presumably some internal killswitch is working. Maybe the sensors are outputting Celsius, but your motherboard's reading it as Fahrenheit?

One solution would be to get some software that lets you control the fan speed and set your own temperature limits. Speedfan or similar. There's no real need to know the exact temps, as long as you can figure out how hot is too hot and keep the temperature under that.
