Been running GTA V and some other games as well and the system is rock stable. Thx for the feedback from all you guys. :-)

Im with you all the way Bigbearjedi, a good PSU is a major key when it comes to building good and stable computer systems. :) The LC8700 Hyperion I have does have the power to pull the 8350 and GTX970, the problem turned out to be that the fan had failed due to dust building up inside it, but...

Small update....it seems right now the issue is both temp and PSU related, because the PSU fan didnt appear to be spinning. I removed the PSU and topok it apart. The fan was stuck to the extend than you could spin it, but now way it would be able to run by itself. It had heavy traces of heat on...

Thanks nmsuk. :) Well ive had a lot of issues with PSUs being inferior at the time I chose to upgrade my computers with either CPU or GPU. I dont upgrade that often anymore, I tend to get some descent hardware by the time I upgrade, to prevent myself from constantly replacing parts to keep up...

CPU temp (41c), voltages (3.3 and 5 is a little above and 12 is 11.94) are fine. i tried the optimized defaults, which set everything to "Auto" in the BIOS and also switched my SATA to AHCI mode which caused a BSOD with stop error of "Inaccessible boot device" because I normally run them in IDE...

Picked up the CPU today and things are halfway fine as it appears my PSU is now too small.....its a LC 8700 Hyperion with 4x 12v@18A each, so its hard to believe it isnt powerful enough. However, heres how it went down: 1. Uninstalled old CPU in Windows 2. Shut down the computer 3. Switched...

Just to let you guys know, I didnt forget about updating the thread here, I just didnt get around to order the CPU until today and I expect it to arrive on Tuesday. I really hope your suggestion works for me nmsuk, so I wont have to spend next weekend reinstalling my computer. X-)

Absolutely nmsuk, Ill make sure to update this thread as soon as I got some results. Cheers. :-)

Thx for all the advices and its great to come to a forum where ppl care to deliver good and serious answers. :-) Ive been building and selling computers for a living for more than 10 years, so all the basics isnt the issue, the only thing ive been struggling with is that Windows do a BSOD when...

Asus M5A97 R2.0 with Bios 2603 (most current).

Precisely kemical, as watts are calculated from voltage and amperes like so: Watt = Volt * Ampere Watt / Volt = Ampere Watt / Ampere = Volt

Like the title says, will upgrading the CPU of a desktop computer cause Win10 to BSOD and call for a reinstallation? Im considering upgrading from an AMD Phenom II x4 965 to an AMD FX-8370 X8 4.3GHz, but ever since XP, Ive had nothing but problems upgrading CPUs. It caused the computer to start...

I know this is an old thread, but others may run into the same issue and find this thread in their search results when looking for answers. To me this sounds like lack of PSU power, because drawing too much power from the PSU will make it unstable and hence make the system unstable, causing...
