AM4 B350/X370 black screen crash thread

Woop woop!

1 hour passed!

Just an absolutely fresh install of windows.

Only thing installed was very latest nvidia drivers.

But I had a clean install with the B350... so something installed maybe?

Next thing am going to try is the AMD chipset drivers

Thank god for that, I was going to buy a Ryzen to play with myself but I feel like I've already had one now.

What about gavin?

I'm not thinking I am in the clear yet - the fall will be too much if I'm not :)

I had a few progrrams installed, but few that could possibly have had any affect on this.

Only things are nvidia drivers, chipset drivers, MSI afterburner, AI Suite.

Everything else productivity apps, except maybe Acronis TI, cpu-z, hwmonitor, aida64, though none likely

Edit: just started another hour after installing chipset drivers

Have you tried with NVidia drivers from a few months ago? if you can run Heaven and Prime95 then I find it hard to believe it's a hardware problem.

You beauty! She's only gone and passed.

eyetrip installed latest drivers though? why wouldn't they work for gavin? you might need to do a fresh install no idea why..

Yeah thats a weird one. Mine was a clean install when I first got this up and running. I'll try the latest drivers again tomorrow and see what happens.
Tempted to leave this running AIDA or realbench all night now....

When I got the B350 last week I installed the latest at that time.

There has been a driver update since (last couple days) and I installed that earlier - still crashed, even though that is the same driver I have installed now.

I also had a driver update the other day I installed it through geforce experience. This older one was installed manually. Might be that?

yeah it seems like it's losing power. I wonder if it could also be related to the PCI-E controller on the CPU, maybe it's the PCI-E portion of the CPU cutting out and losing sync or something?

It could be a number of things, ideally you need other components to rule stuff out.

On Intel systems in the past I've resolved GPU crashes by upping the PCIE voltage so it might be worth a try if you've got the option.
