Hi All,
I have just moved onto an all AMD build from intel based mobo and CPU now I'm getting all sorts of issues.
first up spec's:
Asus rog b450-i
ryzen 3600
radeon 5700 (Reference not FE. Definitely not an FE)
team group 8 pack 3200 ram (2x8gb)
sf750 psu
wd SSD.
The problems....
after driver installs wattman initially works for a few seconds. It then judders can't get information and HDMI audio drops. following this the fans sound like they are ramping from 1000 to 1500 rpm. Any 3d programs run very poorly. if at all. Some times it will run and the BSOD with driver file issues.
The non solutions....
Latest mobo firmware.
Clean installs of windows and full updates. Created new bootable media with latest build.
fully updated windows before driver installs.
have tried latest graphics drivers and the 19.7.3 drivers.
have tried using the Asus grid software have also disabled it through the bios to make sure and installed without. (looks like junk software to me!)
Have tried using the DSIM refresh and scans all return ok.
have used DDU on several occasions and tried reinstalling.
I have ordered a ryzen 1200 and another motherboard from amazon to be here tomorrow to try to rule out hardware issues. I have run each RAM module on its own to rule out RAM issue. The GPU worked well previous to this on a q87 4770 bundle (so 90% sure its not GPU hardware.)
So I'm turning to the internet for any clever suggestions that I may be blindly overlooking.....
next on list to try tomorrow.... Older chipset drivers, new mobo, new cpu. Then I'm really stuck.... Ive also asked around to see if anybody local has a GPU to borrow to fault check that.....
This is why I went apple for 10 years.
