System locking up

[Klown]

System specs

Windows10
AMD Fx-9590
16GB DDR3 Ram
Gigabyte mobo
XFX RX 470 4GB VC
Cyberpower PC

My system runs well for the most part, but launching any game will cause it to eventually lock up. I thought it might have been heat related, as two of the fans had failed on the asetek liquid cooling system I did have. I replaced that with a Riing rgb 3.0. Idle temps for CPU are 46C and VC is 51C. Under load the CPU doesn't tend to get much hotter than that maybe 55c, while the card jumps to 65-70C. I thought it might be the VC, and swapped that out twice now, was an MSI now I have the XFX. I cleared the drivers and did a fresh install of the latest Radeon suite. I have made adjustments with the VCs fan speed and the in game video settings but the system still locks up. It isn't a set time either, could be 30 minutes could be an hour.

I came here looking for some answers and found a lot of similar questions that seemed to have the same answer. Is my issue PSU related? I'm running a Corsair CS850M. Is that my issue? Do I need to upgrade to a 1000w psu?

With the 9590 it's usually heat or power related , since your temps are fine the low quality power supply could be the issue.

850W is enough , but it's not the greatest quality for this setup.

Better choices

Thank you for the response SR-71 Blackbird. I believe I have read somewhere on here that I want to go with a platinum rated unit? I only see 4 options of that certification on Newegg, though I'll be picking one up from the local Frys. Looks like EVGA and FSP. I just want to make sure I'm getting the right unit. I've made that mistake before where I didn't have the right rails (?) for a previous (much older) build.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

Platinum why?

Not necessary.

FSP , NOPE , the right EVGA supplies are very good. G2 , GS , P2 , PS are all very good.

Wasn't sure, that's why I asked. Thank you for the help, SR-71 Blackbird I really appreciate it. The local Fry's opens at 9AM, I'll post an update after I get the unit swapped and tested out.

Hopefully it helps your issue , 9590's are hard to get stable.

Alright, well I got the new PSU, but the system still locked up after about 40 minutes. Though, I'm not sure if I flubbed the PSU choice again. All they had available was the Corsair RM1000i for that brand and didn't carry any EVGAs. The PSU was still listed as an 80plus gold certified unit though.

Should I try downgrading the 9590? I have read nothing but horror stories related to this CPU. I probably should have done more research before purchasing this one.

I have 2 8350 setups and 3 Intel , never have issues with the 8350 , 9000 series is just too unstable.

 

[Klown]

🙁 ok. I'll give that a shot. Thanks for the help Blackbird.

 

[Dark Lord of Tech]

The PSU is decent that you purchased , 9000 SERIES is so hard to get stable even with great power and cooling , they just don't play nice.

Alright, final update (I hope). I got an 8350 from new egg, received it today and installed it. So far so good. System is stable, heat is acceptable, no major issues.

In other news...does anyone want to buy a lightly used FX-9590? :-D
