Computer Freezes Constantly. AMD CPU Constantly 70c+.

[jgallant29]

I recently built a PC and from the beginning it has froze at random times both in use and in sleep mode. I have purchased a new more powerful power supply, a new hard drive, reloaded windows multiple times, and tried everything I can think of but the problem continues to happen.

When I look in the BIOS at the CPU temp its consistently above 70C (76C was the max I've observed). When I first saw the temperature of the CPU I removed the stock heat sink and fan and cleaned the thermal paste off of both the CPU and heat sink then reapplied and reconnected but the temps are still the same. Case temp somewhere around 30.

I have tried booting with just one of the two sticks of ram in, with out my gpu in, and off of different boot drives but it will still freeze and lock up. Tonight I used a USB boot drive and accessed the BIOS where it quickly froze on me.

Update: At this point after trying many different people's ideas I am still having the freezing and it seems to be worse. I can't even get past the initial load screen of windows without it freezing (freezes within 1-2 mins of boot). Here is a link to some pictures I took showing information from the BIOS it maybe show a problem that I am not seeing: http://imgur.com/a/QKt83

Would love for someone to have someone input or some ideas for where I should go from here.

My specs are:

Operating System: Windows 10
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3H
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 860K Kaveri Quad-Core 3.7Ghz
GPU: MSI GeForce GTX 960 DirectX
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Power Supply: 600W
Hard Drive: WD 500GB

Every piece of hardware is brand new.

Thank you for your time,
Josh

What about voltages ?

What about voltages ?

I have checked the voltages and they all seem normal. I will post the specifics of them later today when I am home from work.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help,

We got many threads reporting the same problems with the new driver of NVIDIA ender the safe mode with networking download the tool from hear

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html

uninstall completelly and install an oder driver if this dosen't solve the problem let us know.

Okay will give that a shot, thank you.

Only problem is since yesterday I haven't been able to get it to boot and not freeze for more than a few minutes, hopefully I will be able to uninstall before it boots me out.

Thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes.

Do you have the original installetion dvd of windows? You could boot from there choose to repair your computer and to open a command line and type:

chkdsk c:/f

afther it finish you can type

sfc /scannow /OFFBOOTDIR=d:\ /OFFWINDIR=c:windows

this 2 commands are making sure that you have no problem to hdd or the windows then you reboot pressing F8 while you booting and choose to start safe mode with networking on you can also download a tool from hear

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

you can see the code blue screen error and the memory location that happened it will also allow to load the mini dump from the disk that tells you the date the time and the driver that coused the error. This way you can find out where exacly the problem is.

Okay I will give this a try but I have never seen a blue screen come up on my computer before. When it freezes it just freezes with whatever image is on the screen and stays like that until i power the computer off.

Will this still be useful for me?

Thanks

The same things are saying all the users that tested the new driver of nvidia so i can't really know if they will work for you can try it.

Okay thanks, I will give it a try when I get home.

Any suggestion on what nvidia drivers I should reinstall?

The previus version that is saying final, I never understood why they are trying beta version drivers.

Okay thanks for the help, I will post an update once I give it a try.
