AMD FX-9370 running slow and gets hot when idle
Hi all!
AMD FX-9370 PC boots up real slow. It took maybe 10-15 seconds for it to actually recognize ethernet network from the time the icon showed up (I had never actually seen the loading circle on the ethernet icon before). Programs tend to open slowly as well, but once they load, browsing responsiveness seems okay.
As the CPU fan was blaring at 2220 RPM, I found that the CPU sits around 55-57C when idle (looking at graphical BIOS settings was literally what I was doing as it climbed from 55 to 57). As I gather, 61C is the max rated temperature of the FX series.
I recently switched the PSU to a 550W Chieftec, as the old one was acting fishy and making the system freeze. It's no longer freezing, but... yeah. It runs one 2.5" HDD, 8GB RAM and a passive GPU, so, 550W should be plenty.
Any idea where should I start untangling the problem?
