Specs in image below. If you need me info let me know. Thanks.
So I've had my setup for about 2 years and I feel like I've always had problems with it. The biggest problem was it would just freeze randomly and I'd have to hard reset the pc. I thought it was a temp problem like maybe I had to clean out the pc or reapply thermal paste better or something but my temps wouldn't get that high. It would freeze at 20 degrees or 60 didn't matter with loads at 2 or 50 or 100 I've seen every temp and load combo out there. Could be playing a heavy loaded game or just watching a youtube video. I've also had high loads with the same temps but just recently I turned on different games, this time minecraft, and the temps hit 80 which has never ever happened. Then I tried updating all the drivers. I got Driver Easy and installed a couple AMD drivers thinking it solved the problem but eventually it froze again. It seemed like the freezing kept happening more frequently but it won't freeze for a while then it will do it multiple times. Either way it was pissing me off. I watched some videos about this cpu's timing might be off and the recommended settings are NOT recommended I don't know. I got desperate and followed instructions turning off certain bios settings like turbo core, core c6 state, and c1e support. I don't like messing with bios but it said those setting reduced power consumption but I'm not expert. The thing is that did solve the freezing. It's been a week and I'm able to do everything with no problems. I'm just worried about these temps. Is it just a matter of time before my computer gets fried or is there something i should change like underclocking and changing voltage. I've seen those options mostly but I figured I would share my specs and not base my decision off other setups. I did receive a class action settlement for my cpu in the mail but I didn't really have a big problem with it yet so I thought if i did then i'll just get a cpu that hasn't been brought to court lol.
So is there something I can do to fix this problem or should I just invest in a new cpu? I really don't want to but if that's the case then what is a good recommendation? I really appreciate any and all help!
