Hi,
First of all, I hope you can understand me. I'm from the Netherlands and i'm struggling hard to write this thread...

My PC seems to freeze a lot when it has just been turned on. When it is running for more than about an hour I can call it stable and will crash significantly less. So that's why i'm calling it crashing when cold.
When it freezes, the screen freezes, the audio stops playing but there is still power to peripherals and also fans are still spinning. Pressing caps lock won't change the indicator on my keyboard.
The pc will sometimes also freeze before windows boot or immediately after I press Delete to get into the BIOS settings. I've ran memtest once without problems.

I've had this problem since I built the pc(February this year and all new parts).
PSU is also new.

Here's the part list:

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P
CPU: AMD FX-8320
RAM: 2 x 4GB HyperX Fury 1866Mhz
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming
OS: Windows 10
STORAGE: Sandisk 240GB SSD
PSU: Corsair CX600M

Temperatures are always very good. Here's a picture of HWMonitor when the system froze. Is there something not normal?

I would really appreciate it to hear some suggestions.
Thanks for your help!
 


I read that HWMonitor doesn't always show the right values. This is what my BIOS says:

Any further suggestions maybe?
 


I have 'tried' it once, but I think that didn't work so I'll give it another shot tomorrow morning(europe). Thanks for the help. I will let you know if it changed anything
 


Ya. Make sure you look up the proper way to do it. Sometimes you have to short pins with screw drivers (haha)

Please do let me know. We might not get the problem figured out because the board could very well be damaged, but we have to try!
