Hey Folks,
I just rebuilt my pc by upgrading the motherboard, cpu, GPU, and RAM. I use to have a Athlon II 640 x4 with 8GB ram, AMD 7850 GPU, Samsung EVO 256 gb, generic SSD 480 gb, MSI AMD 880 board and 750 watt powerspec psu (only few months old, replaced a 650 watt antec earthwatt after it died). Old system ran without a hiccup for several years. The new components are a Ryzen 5 1600, 16 gb gskill aegis 2 x 8GB DDR4-3000 set at 2100mhz I think, AMD rx580 8 gb powercolor gpu and Asrock AMD B450 fatality1 K4 gaming motherboard. I formatted my drives and reinstalled windows 10. I bought everything at micro center.
So the system would start freezing whenever I got on the internet. It varies but by average after 7- 10 mins on the internet the pc would freeze. If I keep the pc offline then it will stay on without a problem. I initially though it was some of the components so I disconnected the 10-1 multi media/usb/sata card reader. I disconnected the 2nd generic ssd drive. I then thought its maybe the usb wireless card. So I plugged in wired and the pc did the same.
So my next logically step was to update all the drivers and bios. ( I don't think all the windows updates have been updated and that's because I can't get the pc to be on long enough to download all the updates) I was able to get all that done by downloading the drivers before the pc would freeze. I got everything updated and I set the bios everything as default. System would still freeze and sometimes restart on its own. I saw after a restart the pc would quickly say that the Radeon software had a error and the drivers were restored to previous drivers or settings.
Now to check the components out I also formatted and installed windows 8.1 . Windows 8 ran fine while browsing the internet. No hiccups. I didn't install all the drivers for windows 8 as I just was testing to see if it would freeze again. So I went back and reinstalled windows 10 and nothing the pc would do the same . I checked the event viewer log and found some Radeon software errors. I also found some errors dealing with activating windows (security-spp). I just haven't put a legit cd key but I am in the process of that.
Any ideas? I think its something with the GPU. I plan to try out my old GPU and see if it stops the freezing issue. Isn't weird after getting online for a few minutes the pc would freeze? And would stay ON as long as I did not connect the internet. Very odd. I also thought maybe its the copy of windows 10 I have but I used the same cd to install on a laptop and I am using that laptop right now to type up this thread. So odd.
