I made that thread cause of GPU issues.. or so it seemed.

I'll try to make this short.

My PSU fan was making a lot of noise a few weeks back so I replaced the whole PSU. Shortly after doing that just days later, while gaming I got a big grey screen all across my monitor, I tried rebooting and playing some more then it led to blue screens and more grey screens and sometimes not even being able to boot up cause the GPU would get so hot. Which made me think that it would of been the GPU as I seen 1 other discussion over google on some website having the same issue with my GPU which made me 100% think it was a defective card only after a years use. So I replaced that just a few days ago. Right now I have the EVGA 600 B1 and GTX 1060.. Just yesterday almost the same issues arised. While gaming It would freeze completely, no grey screen but i did get a blue screen occasionally.. the same ones I had when I had my EVGA 600 B1 and the AMD Sapphire R9 270..

The following is what I read on the blue screen.

A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor.

When I check event viewer it says this:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly. Kernel-Power

And yes I did try and use the old PSU with nothing being wrong with it except a noisy fan to use my AMD R9 270 while I had it and still got the same issue hence why I thought it was a GPU issue instead of a PSU issue cause it happened on both the new one and OLD one.

I even went ahead and did a full clean install of windows 7..still happened while playing GTA V a few minutes ago.

Could this all be because of a Motherboard issue or maybe I was possibly sent a defective PSU or GPU? I'm at a lost for words and I don't know what to do.

Yep, your cpu is basically toast.
You can try underclocking it and see if it helps.
The FX 8350 has 4 core clusters with 2 cores in each, it's very likely that the 2 failing cores are from the same cluster.
Your bios might have an option to disable clusters so you could try to locate the failing cluster and disable it.
The third option is to gather your pennies and go shopping.

Ok so what type of cooler do you have on your pc?

Overheating causes an emergency shutdown meaning that the system will instantly turn off without a bsod.
The BSOD error here relates to the cpus clock (pretty self explanatory). And more precisely to one core not keeping up with it.
The things to try here are disabling some of the cores (and hope the degrading one gets disabled) and downclocking.

Upon several prime95 tests

The 1st test 2 of the workers stopped working immediately saying hardware failure with an error code and fatal error and the other one stopped working saying possible hardware failure detected. So im assuming 2 of my cpu cores are fucking shot?

Any tests after the first few have froze my entire computer. Typing on my phone atm.

Thanks to you and you're advice I've done the following:

This is what I was seeing when I said hardware error with the cores/workers.

And so..

The MOBO is very configurable so I went through and found the cores that we're acting up.

Those two are the cores that are completely shot. I re-tested prime95 and everything seems good so I've went ahead and disabled them and will hopefully see no crashes while gaming.

Now in the mean time this basically means I'm now running a Six Core AMD 4.0 ghz correct? So this basically buys me A LOT of time to buy a new CPU. At this point I'm just gonna gradually start buying parts to put together a new PC but this buys me a lot of time to do so.

So If I'm right.. I seen this blue screen while I was claiming my GPU was dead too.. Don't get me wrong my GPU was showing grey screen while gaming & crashed and was also acting up to, might of just been the CPU acting up.. but Is it fucking possible my GPU fried and some of my CPU too almost near the same time? Lol? who knows.

Did you test your old gpu in a working machine? it could be that the gpus issues were caused by the degrading cpu.

I never did test it in a working machine only got 1 comp lol. And I did experience hurricane irma in florida a few months ago where i kept turning on my pc after every power surge cause of the power going every few min. Im an idiot.. its my fault lol
