  1. Computer locking up when playing games/stressed


    Attachment 40442
    My computer has been locking up recently. It seems fine until I start to put strain onto the system. This is usually done by me playing games. At first I thought it was heat and noticed my processor getting up there in temp. I went out and bought a new case and a new liquid cooling system (Something that needed to be done anyway). As I monitored over the next few days the freezing didn't stop, but my temperatures were a lot better. I did a complete reinstall of windows onto my HDD's to make sure it wasn't a driver. I did HDD's checks and nothing showed up. My next step was checking the ram. After running for 8 hours on each stick, then together, nothing showed up as an issue. I pulled out each piece to test everything, but like I said it only happens when I seem to put strain on the system. I tested both my graphics cards and I thought one was causing the issue, but it freezes on both. At this point I am at a lose as to what it could be. My thought is it might be the motherboard, but I am not sure. So I ask to you all, why is my computer locking up?

    My system specs :
    Motherboard- Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
    Processor - AMD 9590
    Ram- Corsair Vengeance 8GB x 2
    GPU - AMD R9 290x x2
    Power Supply - Rosewill Lightening 1300w
    Liquid CPU Cooler - Corsair Hydro H100i GTX
    HDD- Wester Digital 1TB
    Wester Digital 2TB
    SDD- Sandisk 120GB
    Case- Cooler Master HAF X
    Wireless Card - TP link WDN4800

    This is normal when the processor/GPU is stressed (for example when playing games).

    Does it crash normally (If you dont play those games)?

    Are those games up to date?? Have you installed any updates for them?

    If it doesnt crash if you dont play those games, it could be the games. Or they're stressing something out

    Hi KirinShowcase,

    Welcome to the 10forums.

    You are missing a driver for the TP-LINK Wireless PCI Express Adapter what caused a few crashes.
    Please check here for drivers.
    Code: *** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for athrx.sys *** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for athrx.sys[/quote]
     
  5. Depending on when that was I had just recently reinstalled that from the TP-Link site.
