Question New TITAN X and mobo, PC get BSODs and quit games

[BirdieBrain]

Hello,

I recently bought a new graphics card and a new mobo. After installing these, my PC get BSODs a few minutes into a game. It also freezes, quits the game randomly or just goes to black. I've searched all over to find a solution, but none so far. All drivers are up to date.

Specs:
GPU: Titan X Maxwell
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair V Am3+ ATX
CPU: AMD FX-8350
PSU: Corsair RM1000i

Note: The PC doesn't seem to have a problem with just browsers open. Just games.
I don't know very much about computers, so I don't really know what info to give. I'll would more than happy provide additional info if needed.

WHAT IS YOUR POWER SUPPLY?

Ok so do you have temp monitoring program for your cpu, or do you know the cpu temps while gaming? If not download cupid hwinfo https://www.cpuid.com/softwares.html and see if your cpu is overheating during gaming. With a strong gpu like that I would assume your cpu is working hard to keep up with the gpu.

Also what memory are you running? And is your bios most current? Version 2201

 

[BirdieBrain]

16GB of HyperX Fury. Although my comouter only detects 8 of them. It's strange. It says it has 16GB DDR3 (in task manager), but only 7.95GB usable.

I have both HWinfo and CpuZ, I'll check that in a bit.

Okay, so I tested with HWInfo. Here is the results

First image is when no programs are open (except the ones in the picture)

Second image is when Apex Legends is running on Low.

Third image is when Metro Exodus is running on High.

Current BIOS version is 1703, so that needs updating. I will do that. Hope this info helps.

Yes so I think you may have a bad stick of ram gumming up the works. Type memory in search box, when box pops open click on diagnose problem. See if it tells you which stick is bad.

The memory diagnostic program did not find any problems. The RAM was bought in January 2019. We checked each stick a week ago, all working. But now I have a new problem. Or not exactly new, but the problem has grown bigger. My PC gets BSOD or freezes a few minutes (or less) after booting. I almost can't even open a website before it freezes. The water cooler also makes a kind of fizzling sound randomly and in short bursts (yesterday it made this sound contantly for about 10 minutes before I shut the PC off) Could this have something to do with it?
