AMD 9590 + GA-990FXA-UD3 rev 4.1 computer keep freezing

[Christian Deslauriers]

Hi,

I just bought a AMD 9590 and GA-990FXA-UD3 fresh windows install and i update the driver to rev 4.1 and my computer keep freezing after 5 minutes whatever i do, even idle.
My BIOS is updated to F3.
Temperature of the CPU never went over 75C in heavy load.

Got a 850 psu and a radeon r9 290 btw.

Anyone got any tip?

Thank you!

What make and model is the PSU as that CPU and GPU can draw 500w alone

Also what are system temps under load as that's a lot of heat to dump into a case

Not sure the make and model of the PSU but the CPU temperature never went over 75C in heavy load

75c? AMDs CPUs are rated for 62c. What kind of cooler are you using?

Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus, but even at idle at 30C or lower the computer will freeze.

Well first you need to check the heatsinks seating. 30c idles is high for a AMD CPU idle. Should be around 20c +/- depending on ambient.

As well, check your event viewer and see if there are any warnings or errors when the freezing happens. It could just be a bad driver or a bad HDD. I still think you need to get temps in control first then focus on the freezing. Overheating the CPU can eventually cause more issues than anything.

That $30 cooler isn't going to cut it for air; you need high-end air or mid-level water cooling for the 9590 "Volcano on a chip".

75 Celcius would be enough to freeze the computer? it even freez at around 30c, not sure that's the problem

 

[ccampy]

75c would Kill that chip

Considering that AMD has stated a maximum of 62c, yes. In fact you might have already caused damage to it although CPUs are notoriously hard to damage or kill.

 

[Christian Deslauriers]

Yeah, it is a heat problem, when I left a really big fan (not for computer) beside my open case, the computer doesn't freeze anymore, I bough a water cooler the h100i, should do the job, thank you all.

 

[jimmysmitty]

Good to know. A H100i should keep it nice and cool.

I'm Italian and I speak a little english! I have the same problem but I found a solution!
Enter on BIOS and disable CPU energy save (c1, c1e, c6, cnq) and enable hpc!
This CPU don't like voltage changes!
Also you must buy a water cooler! I have Corsair H105 and it's perfect!

 

[Christian Deslauriers]

Good to know but I bought a watercooler and it is working really well, no more problem, it was a heat problem for sure.

Thank you

I know that this thread is dead. But for anybody that bought the chip blindly like I did and has this issue. Make sure you do these things: check memory with memtest, turn of performance boost in your BIOS, make sure ur Mobo is coming.patible, make sure ur using water cooling, make sure u Underclocking the chip slightly, make sure u are using at least a silver rated 850w PSU. I had to do all of these things until I got mine to stabilize.
