I've got a bit of an issue here and I have not found a solution so far. I'll start with my system specs:
- Windows 8.1 Pro
- Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7 Rev. 3.0
- CPU: AMD FX-8350 (not overclocked)
- PSU: Seasonic X-Series 1050 W
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 CMX16GX3M2A1600C11, command rate 2 T, 1600 Mhz (800 Mhz), timings 11, 11, 11, 30
- GPU: Zotac GTX 770 Amp (not overclocked), 2 GB of V-Ram
- Sound Card: Creative X-Fi Titanium Champion (PCI-E)
- Haupauge Colossus video capturing card
- Promise FastTrak TX2300 SATA-II RAID Controller (2 additional HDD's attached)
- System drive: OCZ-AGILITY3 (111 GB)
- Main storage drives: 2 X WDC WD2002FAEX-007BA0 (1863 GB)
This should be enough for now.
The issue is as follows: Under heavy cpu load (for example when encoding mp3's using dbpoweramp) the pc occasionally shuts itself down. This does not always happen and it only happens when the cpu is really at it's limit (all 8 cores at 100 % load). Very well I thought, let's do a stress test using Prime95. The blend test runs for several hours but suddenly the pc freezes and all I can do is power it off. During the stress test I monitored the temperatures. Cpu 51 - 52 degrees, north bridge between 50 and 55 degrees, motherboard value between 45 - 50 degrees. I got these temps from Aida64. I'm kind of clueless here since none of these temps should be off limit. And the psu certainly delivers enough output. I'm grateful for any advice. If you need more info please let me know.
