Recently purchased an Fx-8350 though am having major problems with it.
I've tried a few different things (changed voltages, etc.
Best luck I had was at 1.4125v @ 4Ghz (stock clocked), would stay stable with prime95 running on 2cores at a time at this clock (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, 7/8), though when ran on all 8 cores at once it would crash instantly. (either simply freeze until restart, or completely shut down and require power supply switch to be flicked off/on before rebooting)
Put my AMD Athlon II x2 270 back in and it runs fine again.
Any suggestions?
Is it safe to assume upgrading my PSU will fix this problem or could the motherboard be at fault too?
