So, another one with stability issues on a 970 Pro3 R2.0...
First my gear:
Relevant settings (at least as far as I can think of):
The system just randomly freezes (sometimes with black screen, sometimes with a static image of the last state) or hard-restarts, even when doing NOTHING at all... Last night I went to bed while it was on, just running Outlook, Thunderbird and the Shroud of the Avatar launcher (which acts as a P2P node for updates). Also have Open Hardware Monitor and CoreTemp running most of the time to keep an eye on things, and nothing weird is showing up temp-wise.
I have a powermeter inserted now, and the max powerdraw measured was 253W. Last night the top was 213W, but it still froze (on black screen)
It is now running prime05 with the small FFTs, just to test only processor, not RAM. All 6 CPU cores hammered at 100%, temp stable at 55C. (The board temperatures read 64C and 37C right now, so nothing extreme there. (Oh, I put an extra fan on the northbridge, just to be safe)
Any suggestions appreciated!
First my gear:
- No-name case (3 case fans 1xF, 2xR, topmounted PSU)
- AsRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 (Bios v1.70, which isn't even on the AsRock site?!)
- AMD FX-6300 (3500MHz)
- 2x 4G Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 memory
(Yeah, I know it is only DDR3-1333/667MHz, not willing to invest more right now until I know what the culprit is!) - Asus GeForce GTX650 Ti (1G)
- CoolerMaster RS460-PSAP-13
Relevant settings (at least as far as I can think of):
- UEFI defaults
- ASUS GPU Tweak on 'Saver' (ie underclocked defaults)
- AMD OverDrive on default (just for added monitoring, at least right now)
- AMD IES (powersaver) running
(But the problem existed before I installed this)
