If it weren't for the fact that I have $45,000 worth of apps that I'd have to somehow get installed onto a new system with new hardware and new drivers ... I would have done that. But moving a full system backup to new hardware is fraught with issues I didn't want to hassle with.

In case anyone is interested, here is what finally worked. I installed new Thermaltake 750 $95. No post. I bought a used CPU $53. No post. I replaced the motherboard with a used Gigabyte 970-UD3P $168, Success! It posted and runs fine. So the culprit was the MB. Only cost me $316.

Enermax ECO80 EES620AWT, same age as MB, believe first came out from Enermax in 2009, so ~16 years old. It has 8 pin for CPU. Hmmmm. So when PS get old they can't manage as much 'sauce' as when new? So when not pushing it with the 6100, it works OK; but with the 8350 takes a doo-doo?

On my Gigabyte 970-UD3P with bios FB, I managed to run my FX8350 for several years. Then it wouldn't post. Replacing the 8350 with a 6100 posted OK, but the 6100 does not have the processing power necessary to run Cakewalk by Bandlab and all that entails. I purchased another 970-UD3P board...

No, Sonar DAW utilizes all 8 cores ... when all 8 are at full. Otherwise, with 6 running at 1407 it doesn't run smoothly at all (pops and clicks etc). Sonar was specifically coded to be a balanced, multithreaded app. I had no problems running an AMD 6300 6 core at 3.8ghz for years prior on...

I have read all sorts of posts and implemented suggestions, but sometimes 6 of the 8 cores drop from 4019 to 1407 ... which means I can't use the system to record audio. Most times if I reboot, the problem goes away. AMD-OD and OCC report stability, and when running at 100% the clocks don't...

Not to revive and old thread, but thought polite to post a fix. I was having same issue (6 cores dropping multiplier to 7) with my Gigabyte GA-970a-UD3P mobo. As reported above and elsewhere, there was no obvious temperature issue (temp margin = 39 deg C). The condition was triggered after...

On my previous MB, a Gigabyte 970a-DS3, with a Phenom II 945 running at stock, I was able to run two sticks of 4gb and two sticks of 2gb at 1600 9-9-9-24 for couple years (12gb total ram). All that ram was on Gigabyte's compatible ram list; these new Adata sticks aren't, but that is likely...

I don't understand. All 4 sticks, the Corsair and the Adata, are DD3 1600. The question I am asking is if I stick the two 4gb Adata into the two open slots, upping my 8gb to 16gb, will the RAM speed drop from 1600 to 1333 as per AMD.

Having spent several hours to no avail, here goes: I had two 4gb Adata ddr3's that died and sent off under warranty. While waiting I replaced them with two 4gb Corsair CMZ8GX3m2A1600C9, which are running fine at 1600 C9 in dual channel mode in the same color slots on my Gigabyte 970A-UD3P...
