i made a post earlier about my new pc not working and i may have found my problem. my cpu seems to be at the wrong voltage as many programs have shown me.
so my question is this. what should a stock AMD 8350 be at? and what can i do reach these voltages safely? i would also like to know what can cause the voltage to be dropped like that, this is a completely new rig. no pre used parts here. I DO NOT OVERCLOCK!
Here's your answer.

gee, your a genius and totally answered the part that was the problem and not the part that i already looked up but still wanted to know what others thought it should be at because i found mixed results on google. yea...
if you're not going to help with the actual problem then please just go about your buisiness. i have waited far to long for this pc to have my first moments on it be arguing with a troll.
You asked what the stock voltage should be and I answered your question. Twice.
Stock voltage should be 1.35v.
Change the setting in your bios.
You didnt tell us what kind of motherboard you had, or what voltage it said it was running at.
How did you know it was at the wrong voltage if you didn't know what the correct voltage was?
You asked for the correct voltage. I told you.
Hardly being a "troll".
i know it was low because my friend uses the same product.
i am using an asus m5a99x r2.0 and it is running at .980 ish area. wish i obviously wrong. i had to underclock my cpu to 2.8 just to keep it from crashing after 5 minutes.
the bios and all overclocking programs say my voltage is .980 area but also that the target area is around 1.35 (another reason i did not have to google it)
do you actually have any information that could help me here? i just want to get back to my gaming on my beautiful pc and not have to go sit on the xbox for tonight....
Believe it or not, Phantom is right. The only information we really got on hardware was your cpu, the FX-8350.
By default the CPU voltage will be lowered when the CPU is idling and the clock speed is reduced, this is probably why you think your voltage is too low. You can try manually setting it in the bios to 1.35 or disabling the thing that automatically reduces the voltages (I can't remember what it's called with AMD). But I doubt this is your problem.
Disable power saveing then the cpu will run @ 1.35v it runs less than 1v in power saveing mode.....
What happens if you reset the BIOS to all default settings? Check your CPU temps, and also run Memtest and see if your ram is causing your computer to crash.
no power saving modes are active.
Then manually change your CPU voltage to 1.35.
Disable : Application Power Management (APM) disable amd cool and quiet disable Turbo Core disable amd c-state then your cpu will run at its full stock speed @ 1.35v
If your cpu is running at less than 1v at full 4Ghz with all of these disabled then you have a miracle cpu that will overclock like a roadrunner with its tail on fire....
FIXED! finally. it turns out windows has a power options settings and at "normal" it owuld not go above 1v but the "high performance" settings let it go easily up to the 1.3750 i need.
thanks for all the help.
