I've been trouble shooting a friend's computer for stability issues. At first I thought it was because the RAM was set too high (without other appropriate changes in BIOS) but I discovered WHEA errors even with everything set to stock clocks. So here's some more detailed info:
FX 9590
Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z (latest BIOS, default settings)
8gb x 2 2400mhz GSkill RAM (running 1333mhz right now)
Corsair 850w PSU
Right, so like I said, with "optimized default" settings loaded from BIOS, I'm seeing stability issues running mainly games. When I run P95 blend test for more than 5 minutes or so, I start getting WHEA errors and CPU cache L1 and L2 errors. Temps are fine AFAIK for this CPU, reaching around 68c max. Cooling is a Corsair H110 by the way.
This has me kind of stumped except for bad hardware, maybe RAM or CPU?
edit: OK, I've been out of the AMD game for a very long time and I guess 68c is actually quite hot for these? I've gotten used to Intel...
