Computer Freezes at Random when Gaming.

[ww1superstar]

Computer freezes at random times ONLY when gaming (usually after 10 minutes or so).

Processor AMD FX-9590 Processor (8 core 5.0 GHz)
Mobo: AM3+ Asus M5A99X Evo R20
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury (8G 1600 speed)
Power:CoolMax ZU 1000 Watt
Graphics Card:Sapphire Vapor X Radeon R9 280X TRI X

I have heard 2 possible issues which is running out of RAm which was not the case. I keep close watch on CPU socket temperature but not the graphics card temperature which was the other suggestion.

Also important note: This only happens on semi-heavy to heavy load games.

That motherboard doesnt officially support the cpu you have in it, i dont know what cooling your using but watercooling is recommended.
Any PSU with the words Cool and/or Max in the brand are on the avoid at all costs list. Yours has both words.

I do use water cooling, and I had someone who has built multiple computers pick out these parts, so I trust that they would at least work. I HIGHLY doubt it is motherboard to processor compatibility problems as it would have issues with most everything not just high power games. I dont know what exactly your trying to get at with the name of my power supply(?) but it doesnt feel as if it is overheating, but I do not have a way to actually monitor it.

Actually you may have some method to your name judgement as I went back to read the reviews on my PSU and the first one had this, "The power supply I got was unstable and wouldn't work on high graphic intensive workloads. I originally thought it might just be my motherboard anti-surge protection but after taking that offline and still having my computer crash i opted for a better quality PSU, tested, worked perfected therefore it must have been this PSU that was unstable. Unfortunate considering all the great reviews so far but i have to give the performance a 1 for this." I guess the PSU is likely the problem, Thanks!

The thing i was trying to get at with the psu, its not a brand that is known for good quality psu's. Brands like Antec, Corsair, XFX, EVGA, Seasonic, FSP are brands you can trust will produce their rated power. Best not to go to the lowest tier models from any of those brands either because you do get what you pay for.
