System unstable problem

trustnoone737 · 21-10-2009, 01:31 PM

Hello guys im new to this forum.Im experiencing unstability with my new PC config.Here are my specs:

-AMD phenom x4 955 (be)
-ASUS m4n78 amd2+(compatible with am3 etc etc)
-Kingston hyper-x 800mhz 2x2gb
-xfx geforce 9500 gt 1gd ddr2
-hard drive 250 IDE(yes i did buy a new one yet-maybe next week or something)
-PSU 500 w
-Windows 7 64bit
-drivers-bios up to date

My problem's:

1)The first one has to do with the CPU temperature
-Bios and iprobe(di asus) shows that my processor's temp are at 62 Celcius at idle.I asked many friends-tecnicians-forums and they advised me to use other programs like "Cpu temp"-"pc wizard"-"speed fan"
All of those programms show my cpu's temp at normal levels(32celcius @idle,41-2 full load)All told me to trust anything than bios measures..What's your opinion?

2)The main problem is that my PC is very unstable:
Specifally my pc often freezes.I oserved that freezes when using:
-torrent software
-World of warcraft
-Pc wizard when trying to make "stress test" in "HIGH" mode

When i say freezing i mean first desktop freezes and then mouse-->i reset and all seems good

-------
I need your advice for what might be the part(hardware) that causes my pc to freeze or if it's a software program.

Special thanks to everyone..Ciaoooo

OK got some changes:

-WD green caviar 500 gb
-And a new PSU(thermaltake butterfly 480w)
-new cpu fan(artic cool with 4x2 pipes)
-Asus released a new bios update for windows 7 64 bit
-Changed my rams voltage to 1.85 as the kingston support suggested me

My pc runs smoother. But still may freeze some times..

Have you tried running Memtest86+ overnight?
Have you sniffed around the mobo for bad caps?

could be a power supply going bad, Is this PC overclocked ? Check your ram, or try removing and reinstalling to reseat them.

I had problem with my pc after installing windows 7 x64

Machine just restarted itself without warning i put it down to the psu but since i reinstalled it without adding specific drivers for my motherboard it hasnt happened and is alot more stable have you installed additional drivers that windows was already supporting?

Mainly i would be sure that the drivers you use are certified for 64bit windows 7 platform or uninstall them if the built in drivers supported it the device.

Also

try a chkdsk /r

Hope this helps

have you ran prime95 for stability issues? sometimes the case where the cpu needs a little more power. can be caused by overclocking without upping the vcore, cpu pll and vtt and gtlref and northbridge voltages. also sometimes dodgy caps also mosfet voltage regulators.
you can run prime95 just for cpu and also ram, first of all just run the tests for cpu which is small fft's also hammers your cpu memory cache as well. then move on to a large fft's and then blend which will test cpu and memory.

I second all those that advice to run a RAM test. Do it. I've had experience with computers having random freezing and RAM was the cause.
