Stability issues after upgrading CPU

[veyronko]

Hey guys, I have some stability issues on my PC and I wonder if you could help me out to find out what's the cause. PSU, cooling, CPU? Just let me know what to do to give you the right details about my system. Thanks.

Make and model PC?

Motherboard
CPU
Memory
GPU
PSU
Drives

Need makes, models, specs. Thanks.

MB: ASRock 990FX Extreme6
CPU: AMD FX-9590
Ram: Corsair 16GB (2x 8GB) PC2400 CL11 Vengeance Pro VenPk DDR3 DIMM
GPU: PowerColor 8 GB Radeon RX Vega 64 Devil
PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 11 750W
Main Drive: Samsung MZ-V5P256BW 950 Pro (I have two secondary SSDs and two HDDs in raid 0)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15
Case: Fractal Design Define R5

I've changed CPU from 1100t to FX-9590.
I see three possible issues:
1. CPU - I bought it used, so maybe it's not in perfect condition?
2. CPU cooling - NH-D15 supports this CPU and CPU temperatures are good, also case is not the worst I think.
3. PSU is not enough for my system? I recently upgraded from Thermaltake 650W to this Be Quiet! 750W, because it was not enough for Vega 64. But if there is issue with PSU then PC crashes to shut down, but my PC freeze if I run stability test or play more demanding game.
4. Motherboard? It officially supports this CPU.

It would be great if I could be certain about what's the issue.

Start with the Event Viewer logs.

Look for error codes and warnings.

Likewise use other available tools: e.g., Resource Monitor.

Key is to identify specific errors or warnings that occur just before or at the time of the freezes or other problems that occur.

Take your time, watch and read carefully. No need to react to any one error or warning per se. Look for a group of errors or a pattern therein.

Should help narrow down the possible causes.

Can a noctua nh-d15 cool a amd fx 9590?

Poor choice of memory. AMD FX CPU's don't run at 2400MHz. Not to mention what the current Memory Clock speed is, along with DRAM timings and DRAM voltage.

Ralston18: I did as you said, but it feels like I'm looking for a needle in a haystack 🙁 It would be great if there would we way that I could post here a log from some diagnostics that somebody could understand better than myself.

Calvin7: Even NH-U14S officially supports 220W TDP and NH-D15 is more powerful than plenty of water cooling systems in the market. https://noctua.at/en/tdp-guide
About the memory: My motherboard supports 2450 MHz and with my previous old 1100T it was running without issues at its 2400 MHz.

Stability issues...

The key is to search the logs for events that occurred just before or at the time of the "stability issues".

You may find it easier to look at the Reliability History via the error and warning icons presented therein.

Just look for some error that keeps re-occurring over and over and corresponds to the time of some problem.

A wide range of errors would suggest PSU problems.

Or a group of varying errors may center around a GPU issue.

Or could even be the CPU - just upgraded but may be failing in some way....

It seems like issue is the cooling or more precise the British weather. Now the temperatures are back to normal in last couple of days I had no issues to run stability tests. But in temperatures over 30 degrees of Celsius during majority of London's summer days it struggles to keep going.

May well be a correlation.

Would hope and expect that your system could handle the high temperatures.

Some combination (aka "perfect storm") of factors that has hit a threshold due to the 30 C.

If some component has (or is deteriorating) then the next event may go beyond just a stability problem.

Keep an eye on things per Calvin7's suggestions.

Even though the "specs" may be supportive remember that most such specs were established in ideal circumstances just to get the higher marks.

And I am fairly sure that the testing was not done in a 30 C test environment. Of if so, not for very long.....

the issue may be cooling the vrm on the mb. you may need to open the case and blow some air on the mb.
