Game freezing at 60fps

[Colonialism]

So i have just gotten my new cpu and its been causing all sorts of problems. I can run rust a very graphic intensive game at 60fps no problem, but about 15 minutes in every single time the game will freeze on me. No sound comes through, i just get a frozen screen of what ever i was doing when it crashed. It doesn't force a hard restart, it could sit there forever but it requires a restart to get it working again.And when i do and i get back to the homescreen, my cpu fan will be on full blast. As for the steps ive already taken; i have applied new arctic silver 5 i looked up how to apply it and yes the heat sink was replaced perfectly. I have updated the graphics card drivers to the latest "game ready" ones. I have monitored both cpu/gpu temps during full load, and the cpu stays around 65 and the gpu around 68-70 degrees Celsius. i have cleaned out the heat sink fan as well as the gpu fans. As for my guess to the problem, it could be either the Gpu or the Mobo. Also please only help to answer my problems and not judge my hardware, im on a budget ok. Any help at all is greatly appreciated, Thanks.
Specs:

• 
  CPU: amd athlon x4 860k
  GPU: Gtx 950 sc+
  PSU: EVGA 500w 80+
  Mobo: GA-F2A88XM-D3H
  RAM: 8gb 2x2x4
  OS: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
  SSD: Kingston SUV400S372240G
  If u require anymore specs i will happily oblige.

What cooler are you currently using on the CPU, and do you overclock? It seems the CPU gets above the thermal limit of 62C that AMD recommends on the Bulldozer series arch. Cant rule the motherboard too though.

im using the stock cooler that it came with, and a little overclock from 3.7 to 4.0 ghz. Also when i check the Cpu package temps it says its at about 60 degrees just idle, but in Core Temp 1.7 it says its fine. I guess my question is do i look at the Cpu package on HWinfo or the cpu (tctl)? And so you're saying that it could be a Mobo problem?

 

[SammChisnall]

I'd get a new cooler. Personally i would never risk an overclock when running on the stock cooler, especially on an older AMD architecture.
Take a look at All-in-one coolers, fairly cheap these days while providing extremely good cooling.

It's either the motherboard VRM's throttle, due to the lack of cooling given you're using the stock cooler, that 15 minutes of gaming is enough to stress the VRM's till it reaches its fail-safe temps, or the PSU is problematic, but I doubt it since its new. Try running synthetic programs like AIDA64 and stress the CPU, and check whether the CPU overheats or not. The small cooler does its job but I doubt it can handle overclocks, or either long term gaming sessions. If the system crashes, and the reading in AIDA64 doesnt lead to overheating on the CPU, then the culprit is indeed the motherboard.

But I'm intrigued that Hwinfo reports the CPU package 60 at idle. Man, thats hot!. Try resetting the clocks back to stock, and may I know, did you overclock with just BCLK/Core multiplier or you touched the voltage as well?

I was looking at a coolermaster hyper 212x , as it has plenty of good reviews and is cheap and seems to do the job. Thanks for your help by the way.

Ok so i did the AIDA64 test and stress tested the CPU like you said, i kept it at 4.0ghz and the results are weird to say the least. The Computer did not crash for the 20 minutes i ran it, as for the temps i used HWinfo to monitor them, they are as follows; At 10 min in it was 55 for CPU(tctl) what ever that means and 104 for the CPU package. At 20 min in it was 57 for CPU(tctl) and 106 for CPU package. Also just to note, the cpu fan stayed around 2064 rpm which im not sure is normal for when testing in AIDA64.

As for the BCLK, yes i did just overclock the BCLK and didnt even touch anything in the voltage settings

Strange to say at least. But primarily, I guess the culprit here is the cooler, the aluminium stock heatsink cant handle much heat on em, compared to the new Wraith coolers for AMD Ryzen. If you gonna play games, its better to leave it at stock frequencies. Just asking, did your case have ample cooling?

its decent i guess nothing that should inhibit such a horrible temperature at idle. I did some research and found that Amd Overdrive is the best way to find out temps by using thermal margin, and they pretty much coincide with the other analysis programs i was running. Thank you for all of your help, i really do appreciate it.

Glad to help mate
Just a tip, maybe reapplying thermal compound and tighten the CPU cooler would help for the meantime.
