    Prime95: Failed hardware for core #2 and #7?

    Soooo...About a month ago I pressed "O.C. Tuner" In Bios and it reset, went to Windows. Didn't notice a huge difference. But what I didn't do what go back into bios and turn it off. I put my ram at 1333 (Average use now 800-1000Mhz) so that clearly helped, and my CPU is down to about 1400-1500...

    Prime95: Failed hardware for core #2 and #7?

    I'm also new to CPU-Z so this may be a dumb question...but, I "bench-marked" and "stress-tested" with CPU-Z so could the results your seeing be a result of CPU-Z's program pushing my computer to the max, and not what I run on a normal day?

    Prime95: Failed hardware for core #2 and #7?

    I am so unfamiliar with the specifics of overclocking, the most I've done is use ASUS's BIOS screen to switch from "Energy saving" to "performance", and I'm pretty sure it's on energy saving now because of all these issues I've had...I did have AI Suite which also gave an option to over-clock...

    Prime95: Failed hardware for core #2 and #7?

    Is this flat out telling me that my Processor is defective? I installed a brand new processor (AMD 8350 8core), GTX 950 2GB graphics card, and 4X4 RAM jigsaw x and I've dealt with issue after issue. Most recent being BSOD (Corrupted_Expool) and random restarts. So I tried this test to see if...

    Computer Freezing after upgrading, ?

    I downloaded an uninstall utility from AMD and ensured everything was properly removed. To my surprise, there was still evidence of the previous driver left behind...after a reboot, I haven't exceeded 42C with the AMD 8350 and haven't had a single freeze running for more than 8 hours...

    Computer Freezing after upgrading, ?

    It's freezing at 41C... So maybe it isn't the temp. I removed all old hardware and I'm basically waiting for it to freeze at this point to see if that was the problem, thank you. I'm going to check this RAM too...

    Computer Freezing after upgrading, ?

    I purchased an AMD FX 8350 8-core processor to replace my 4300, and an Asus Geforce GTX 950 2GB to replace a Radeon HD 5670, and upgraded 8 gb of RAM to 16 gb (G Skill Rawjaws X). My first issue was the computer would sometimes turn on, but would always ultimately lead to half of my motherboard...
