Title: New built computer freezes
Post by: OlleS on June 09, 2017, 11:43:06 AM
Hello everyone!

I hope someone out there can help me.


I just finished building my first computer (with help from a friend) a couple of weeks ago.
It all went well, and it starts up just fine.

I have been able to install Windows 10, but no more. I have not been able to update Windows to the lates updates, nor been able to install the graphic card correctly. Whenever I try to install something or change placements on files my computer freezes. If I just start my computer and just let it be, then it does not freeze as fast it can take anywhere between 10~45 min. But every time I try to install something it freezes, usually towards the end of the installation.


My components are:
Processor: Amd fx 9590
Gpu:* Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1060
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P
Ram: Crucial BallistixSport 2x8GB 1600MHz
SSD: Kingston SSDNow UV400 240GB
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 2TB (not connected yet though)
Power supply: Fractal Design Integra M 650W
Cooler: Cooler MAster Hyper 212 Evo


I have Windows installed on the SSD and plan on installing the graphic card on it aswell. I have checked the compatibility of the RAM with the motherboard. The store I bought the components from were kind enough to let me check if the RAM or SSD was broken, but I was not. The RAM, CPU and tempature values are normal when it freezes.


Can anyone help me?


Best regards
Olle

Not sure how you checked compatibility but that RAM is NOT on the MBoards QVL list...

Response to Salmon Trout: Yes it is legal, right now I have version 14393


Response to patio: I got the RAM recommended from the store i bought my componets from. Now when I have looked for a solution I know that the RAM is not on the QVL, and I have attempt to confirm or deny the RAMs compatibility with the MB on diffrent computer sight and forums but could not find any awsers. I have sent a mail to the store and asked them to confirm the compatibility, and i'm now I'm waiting for a reply.

I found a solution.

There is nothing wrong with the RAM compatibility, even though it's not on the qvl, I checked that on the manufacturers weppage.

Apparently the AMD FX 9590 turbo mode don't agree with some motherboards. I followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtF8AZVkUuA, went in to the BIOS and turned of the turbo mode of the CUP and now it don't freeze and I have been able to complete several installations.
