Pc Dying?

[Lunastraza]

Ok ever since day 1 I have had some weird system hangs and freezes for no reason, usually when launching 3ds max, however over time I have had it (built in late july) it has gotten worse and worse to the point I now cant make it to my browser without it freezing or blue screening.

Over this time I have changed the power supply to a stronger one and changed the gpu's, neither made an impact.

I need to get this fixed asap really so I can continue working so any and all help is welcomed.

The system is running at stock speeds and settings.

Amd FX8350
Corsair Vengence 16gb.
ASrock 970 extreme 3 r2.0
Gigabyte r9 280x windforce (x2 in crossfire)
750w psu.

Last blue screen I got said system service exception or something along those lines.
Running windows 8 and Ubuntu, both unusable.

have you tested with xmp enabled for your memory?

tried with just 8gb of memory see if it still does it?

might need a touch more dram v and or cpu northbridge voltage with 16gb of memory

might help running memtest86

What make and model is that 750w psu?

My bad its 850w and akasa, the one before it was a corsair cx600 back when I was using a firepro, tested with just a single 8gb stick but still the same issues and tested with xmp.

*edit* Running mem test now, so far no errors.

Ok, it passed the memory test's, went into windows to get the bluescreen logs and the second I went to search, blue screen: system service exception, and then the same again in safe mode.

Is this with just one 8GB stick ram installed here ? If so remove it and repeat with the other stick to be sure.

I checked with both, I managed to fix the blue screens although i still get the random system hangs now that i have from day one but they recover after about 25 seconds thankfully.

Setting defaults in the bios made it under-volt the fx-8350 for some reason causing the blue screens!.

Also changed to the supplied drivers from gigabyte and fixed a few more stability issues.
I have a feeling the system hangs will never be solved though.

Thank you everyone for your help!

tried a bios update ? no idea what you use but try only plugging in your mouse and keyboard unplug everything else, see if anything happens.
