Hello, I have a Fx 8350@4ghz, 4X4gb Hyperx 1600 Mhz on a Asrock Extreme 3 rev. 2 motherboard, a geeforce 1060 6gb. The pc freezes at some point, forcing me to do a hard reset. The temps are ok, maybe it's caused by a voltage drop, please help, thanks!
 
if you havent overclocked the CPu a voltage issue would be strange.

however in case that is the case i would suggest you find an overclocking guide and see where you can go with the voltage. Maybe take it up + 0.25v and see if the stability improves.
 

I observed in Cpuid very low minimums in voltages being set @1.375 by default. I added some voltage to the cpu, but the same, low minimums, dezactivated C1E, C6, And enabled LLC, themt prime 95: fast increasing temperature: stoped when 62C (in cpu id observed high voltages in load, even 1.42V) Entered the bios and set up manually 1.35V and 1.35 in asrock tuner app. Prime 95 still high voltage, but in the game remained 1.37, cool temps. What should I do to have a stable voltage? Thank you Load Line Calibration seems a dangerous agressive tool, what should I do so that load voltages dont't jum so high? No prime 95 crashes even with not so cool temps or load with LLC on...
 
I disabled all power saving features, and enabled LLC (carrefully because it keeps the minimum 1.35-1.36 Voltage but have jumps in load (prime 95) on 1.42V. In Aida64 test reaches max 1.40 in full load, no crashes, but still remained with an old windows 7 64 bit freeze, no cursor moving problem solved only by hard restart, it occurs even in idlling, browsing etc. The voltage problem freeze (only hard shut down twise to use pc again) dissapeared, but remained with this windows freeze loosing savefiles in games and hours off play (i'am backing up every hours🙁 verry stressed when plaiyng :) can you help with this to?

Updated all drivers with a Driver program, did aida 64 stress test, crashed after 5 minutes (freeze) Crashed again on low usage when I fast opened chrome internet tabs, did another Aida 64 test for 1 hour, temps ok, no crash played ac origins 55fps in desert, no crashes for 3 hours (80-90 cpu usage) installed bvkup 2 (set it to backup save files in a folder every 10 minutes just in case) stii don't know what causes the frezes. that need hard reset or hard shut down...Vrm temps: 50C (with a laser thermometer)
