SOLVED (critical process died) BSOD / freezes and crashes
This problem has been going on for months, but it has gotten serious lately. Originally I would get computer lock up/freezes when watching youtube. So I installed a chrome plugin that views video in flash rather then html 5. That fixed the problem, but in a few weeks I started to get crashes when playing video games. They would happen 5-10 mins in and maybe once every 1-2 days. Then yesterday afternoon I started to get blue screens and other errors just by browsing or doing almost nothing and after 1-2 hours of that I had issues starting up. Sometimes I would have to restart 5 times just to get started with it locking up on the loading screen or just resetting due to a blue screen.
So finally that got me off my ass to do something about it. I tested the ram with mem86 and it passed with 0 errors. Then I got a second spare hard drive and installed windows on it and the computer crashed with a blue screen within 1 minute. After a restart I managed to download the DM log collecter and after a few more restarts and crashed I managed to get it to finish and move the file onto a USB drive before shortly after crashing agian.
Ill try to get the DM log collecter running on the original OS, but its difficult with the crashes and what not. If I get it to run then ill upload the file.
So in short
Problems: Lock ups/freezes, crashes, BSOD (critical process died, stop code: system service exception, and many more different errors)
Mem86: Pass
New hard drive/installation of windows DID NOT help
Specs:
CPU: amd 9590
GPU: 290x
RAM: 16gb
MB: M5A99FX PRO R2.0
***UPDATE ON SOLUTION***
If you have a 9590fx cpu, this will solve your problems.
For the blue screens, the sata cable was the problem. A new sata cable solved the BSOD. This was determined by running linux mint through usb and after 2 days of non stop running the system crashed. On bootup a error screen popped up.
However the freezes where occurring due to 2 issues.
1: Cooling (fixed through applying better thermal paste, and make sure you have 240mm liquid cooling or better)
2: CPU BIOS settings. The following post lists settings you need to disable and voltages you need to set to. The default BIOS settings are not accurate.
Help To Overclock FX 9590 To 5Ghz Stable.
And finally big thanks to Essenbe for guiding me through all this. Ive been having these problems for years now and no one else was able to help, including a couple of computer repair places (one of them claimed it was a virus problem and wanted to charge me for installing a free anti virus program which didnt fix anything...)
