AM4 B350/X370 black screen crash thread

Try the voltage/temperature monitor screen on Asus.

Oh, I looked in every tab...

I have managed one 30 min run of realbench stress with 980ti back in.

Just started second one off.

May seem odd doing them in thirty min bursts, but gives me some idea of how long it's going while I go about doing other bits.
 
It did last longer with the voltage and current protection turned off. I'm trying to load as much as i can on this PSU at the moment to see if it is that. Although there has been a few times where it has failed to boot. I blamed that on the motherboard though.
When it does die the zotac logo on my 1070 begins to flash
 
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.
 
Well, if upping the current allowed addresses it, means that either the limit is being set to low, or a stock r7 1700 is drawing more than it should...

There would be no way around this on the Asus B350 currently as it does not allow you to set any kind of power target.

Really hope more people stress these things at stock so can try get a better idea of cause
 
I have asus prime b350 plus+ r7 1700 and i have some random restart,even with low videocard 7300gs(my main is r9 290).It can be stable annywhere from 5-7hours in game and sometimes in idle just restart without warning.
Some guys on other forum cand duplicate restart everytime with asus motherboard,i tried and in 1min restarting.All is stoc,ram at 2133mhz, itried a lot of settings in bios,no succes.I link bellow to try this benchamerk and see if in 1-2minute mobo is restarting for you guys.Srry for my english,i learned all from forum hardware:

No worries about your english - you communicated everything fine.

Thanks for the pointer to that test.

Looks like I am nearly through a second test, and will run a third after that then try it.
 
Could a psu stop you from booting at different ram speeds?
I have had this running at 2933, now it wont even do 2666 nor 2400 :/ I'm at 2133 at the moment. (programs still crashing)
I wanted to apply an overclock to everything to test the psu. It was working fine in my haswell build with same GPU obviously this has double the cores.
 
I dont think is the psu,my ram worked almost 1 year at 2666mhz in a skylake build with no single bsod.With ryzen i cant boot at 2666mhz at all and at 2400mhz its verry instable.
Right now my ram is at 2133mhz and its almost fine with some random crash i cant identify because are mostly in idle.I think its something with power saving voltage cpu is not stable.I gta V over 5 hours not a single hiccup,then i left pc for 30min idle and when i returned pc was restarted.
 
I only get the black screen crash when I overclock too far without enough voltage.

Even though the machine appears to be running, when I restart AIDA64 shows that the counter for the stress test did stop running.

R7 1700
B350 Tomahawk
EVGA 550W G3
RX 480

I did notice that LLC at anything other than auto resulted in the voltage being too low the moment a stress test starts. Instant crash.

If they're still inside the cooling off period (Consumer Rights Act) it might be worth just returning them and either waiting or going with something else, if you start buying new PSU's etc you could just wind up wasting more money and being no closer to a solution.

given the experiences in this thread, for someone who needs a new pc, would u recommend i avoid ryzen and go 7700k?

7700k is a mature platform...Ryzen is not ready yet and Windows requires a patch ( not available yet) to fix the SMT issue.

Stable Bios are needed too...it depends if you can stand the teething troubles with it....
 
Well, after three runs with upped power targets, with cpu and memory at stock /auto, I thought I'd try running memory at higher speeds.

2933 was a total no go. System wouldn't even start.

2666 starts but black screens fairly quickly.

2400mhz, black screens fairly quickly.

No amount of adjusting voltages, etc helps.

Tried the crucial memory got delivered earlier. Won't run at 2400mhz (it's rated) without fairly quick black screen.

Tried auto (which oddly looked to be 2400mhz) and black screens.

So..... I'm not sure where that leaves me. Getting tired now.

It's not a motherboard, it's not a particular set of memory

Potentially gpu related? But passes with increased power targets that aren't directly related to gpu.

Guess going to have to put Gt 730 back in again and see what happens with elevated memory or cpu speeds.

Wearing me out

I wouldn't mind so much if it was stable at stock...

Im running Crucial Ballistix 2400 at XMP settings fine on the tomahawk.

What are you running to get black screens?
Click to expand...

Black screens are random. I either get a black screen or I get the above error. No matter if I'm at stock or overclocked I cannot get this to pass full CPU and GPU load together.
GPU was from my previous build and has been 100% solid not one issue since day of release. This CPU might be going back under the 14 day returns policy. I understand new things have bugs but this is just silly.
