What is the best way to figure this out from here ? Motherboard is messed up/causing problems.
My thoughts on what could be going on are: I didn't think another ~$300 would be worth the extra performance of the 8350. I am stuck at what I should do and before YOU GOT AN AMD CPU NOW ?!?! , I got it for $70 and I didn't have to worry about replacing my MOBO.
I have to flip the powerswitch in the PSU off, until the white light on the GTC 1070 goes off, then flip PSU back on, then the PC will boot up normal. The computer wont turn on immediately after crashing. When I had the older components, this freezing never happened during gaming, but only during normal use, sometimes it seemed triggered by many tabs being opened in chrome. This happened more severely with the past CPU than the new FX-8350. My CPU usage spikes (sometimes up to 100%) during these freezes. I have some freezing issues about once or twice every few hours for about 45 seconds. I ran Memtest86 on my RAM, no errors detected after 3 passes My motherboard is PCIe 2.0 (not 3.0 like is standard with the GTX 1070) I installed all the current GTX 1070 drivers, updated windows, check that all components were detected properly, still crashed right away when I started Deus Ex.
Then I thought it could be a driver issue and/or weird windows issues (since I didn't reinstall windows after CPU swap), so I did a clean install of Windows 10 84 bit into a brand new PNY 240 GB SSD. I also thought they something might be overheating but after using several hardware monitoring programs, nothing went above 55 C. Same problem after installing new power supply. I assumed it was fine at first but I replaced it with a 600W PSU anway.
The PC has not crashed once during regular, non-gaming use, and has also not crashed whilst using the Dolphin Gamecube emulator to play Super Smash Brother: Melee.Īt first, I thought the issue could be my 500W PSU, it is about 4 years old and on the low end of what you should have for this setup but. I have tried playing Overwatch, CS:GO and Deus Ex: MD and all have crashed my PC within a minute tops of starting the game (but doesn't crash in menus). SSD: OCZ Vector 150 + HDD for media files I upgraded without changing my MOBO or anything else, just the GPU and CPU. Hello there, I have been having some frustrating issues with my computer after purchasing and installing the GTX 1070 and AMD FX-8350.
