Downgraded to EFI version 1.70 and I didn't have any crash. Ran furmark+cpu stress for 72 hours no problem Smile

Also disabled Package C6

edit: I tried to enable Package C6 again and my system froze during Debian install. Frustrating. I'm disabling it again.

It's an option in the BIOS.

What's the Package C6?

I bought the BTC version because of the 8 SATA ports and the other version wasn't available on my retailer. I plan to use this as an home server, I don't mine. This computer must be turned on 24/7 and should never go to standby or power saving mode

Have you tried disabling "Package C6" in the BIOS? That's Package C6, not simply C6 states.

Since you mine that change isn't an issue.

Hi, I have a system with FM2A88X+ BTC, AMD A8-7600, and 2 sticks of ADATA DDR3 RAM and a WD Red HDD 3TB.

Symptoms: it freezes after about 20 minutes, whatever the OS, Linux, FreeBSD, Windows

I tried:
  • buying a new 600W PSU
  • buying new Corsair DDR3 sticks
  • buying a new HDD (Toshiba dt01aca300)
  • downlocking ram to 800 Mhz
  • resetting BIOS defaults


Firmware installed is 1.80. From what I found it looks like this: http://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=601&title=fm2a88x-extreme4-w10-and-bios-260-freezing

So, the problem could be either the CPU, either the motherboard.

Should I try to downgrade my firmware?

What can I do?
