    Serious, sudden Core freeze on CPU & GPU!

    Hi again, Folks! First, I want to thank all of you for helping me out on this problem. I work from home and the work I do requires a CPU core speed to run at a minimum of 4.7Ghz, (usually, more than that). I had a “breakthrough”, (I don’t know how big just yet), thanks to all of your...

    Serious, sudden Core freeze on CPU & GPU!

    @hat & Phanbuey: Thanks for the suggestions and info! (some things such as the CO and C-states as well as speedstep have been disabled from the beginning, but thanks!) I’m eating lunch and I have a conference with the boss just after I’m done so I’ll check the event monitor ASAP. However...

    Serious, sudden Core freeze on CPU & GPU!

    "If GPU load was only 26% that probably means that Google earth wasn't even taxing your GPU" I must thank you for chasing me on that G Earth test. As of yet, I don't know why I didn't pull a load and/or hit a max core frequency when I did that because it always was able to hit the max core clock...

    Serious, sudden Core freeze on CPU & GPU!

    Thanks hat, I'm going to try some of those suggestions for sure. However, I over-rode all the OCZ and Windows power-saver facilities. I did that in the UEFI and then in the O/S settings when I booted to the desktop. The two processors should have stayed at their maximum clock speeds with or...

    Serious, sudden Core freeze on CPU & GPU!

    Thank you, Yes I run a Cyber-power 1500VA which can handle a 950W draw. I checked the APU's software report and it is maintaining a steady 118v/119v AC supply. It doesn't show any power fluctuations in the last two weeks and I also ran the test procedure on it to be sure it is running correctly...

    Serious, sudden Core freeze on CPU & GPU!

    Thank you, "If two different PSU's replicate the same fault it could well be a faulty mobo." Yes, I'm afraid of that possibility... The mobo is brand new although I mistyped the date I first started using it. In fact, I installed that board and the i7-4790K around the first week of March 2016...

    Serious, sudden Core freeze on CPU & GPU!

    Hi folks, it's important to note that I've been successfully running my system since 5-8-16 so I know the system can run as I describe below and maintain a very strong stability level. Ergo, this issue isn't due to some 'new' application or change I made or recently tried in the past few days...

    4x8 RAM on a Asrock z77 eXtreme4 mobo?

    Sorry, I meant to answer that question and forgot. The answer is a resounding, YES! If you havn't got Dragon 12 Premium, (now updated to Dragon 12.5 Premium), and you have 64-bit system, I strongly recommend the expense of the upgrade. It's a lot faster but it does use up more resources under...

    4x8 RAM on a Asrock z77 eXtreme4 mobo?

    DNS 12.5 thrives on L3 Cache, number of Cores, and CPU HT capability. Of course the RAM that DNS uses, (please don't quote Nuances 'minimum specs'. They're tryi ng to sell software). But then add the RAM in this again when you consider the user's reason for using DNS. Without boring you to...

    4x8 RAM on a Asrock z77 eXtreme4 mobo?

    Hi Folks, Can the Asrock z77 eXtreme4 handle 4, 8GB x 1600 RAM sticks? I have that mobo with an i7-2600K, ATI 7850PE, 700w OCZ PSU, and 2 X 4 Corsair 1600 LoPro (CPU 5ghz liquid cooled), Windows 7 HP 64bit. I only O/C the CPU and GPU. This is about speech to text software/performance...

    New 13.5 Beta CCC

    Thanks folks! You're all right, (correct). I messed up the removal process and didn't remove the GPU O/C stuff, (TRIXX), because I thought setting the card back to default would do. So I removed all of it, TRIXX and Radeon Pro, and then went it and took out the ATI/AMD stuff as per 'the...

    New 13.5 Beta CCC

    Hi Folks, I've updated/installed CCC many times in the past but this time I got a bad result when I tried to open CCC. I ALWAYS uninstall the old CCC, then go through the whole search for ATI and/or AMD folders and delete them just as out lined in one of these threads, (and many others)...

    Radeon 1.1.1.0 Manual?

    Frankly, no. I'm no sure at all. In fact, your question just reminded me that this 1.1.1.0 version had to be given to me because the latest version I could get was 1.1.0.6. Then someone on Guru3D sent me a link and said the word "preview", (actual versions full title is "1.1.1.0 preview")...

    Radeon 1.1.1.0 Manual?

    Thanks, I knew that the last time I touched base with RP it wasn't at techpowerup but I couldn't remember where and Google failed me, (or maybe I didn't ask the right question):ohwell:. Rich BTW, the "latest version and manual" links are outdated. Now that I saw the page, I remembered having...
