Hi all

So already wishing I had stuck with Intel and not brought an AMD....

Recently purchased a Ryzen 3600x,msi tomahawk b450 max and t force vulcan 16 gig of Mem, also have 1070 ti

Installing windows went fine, but can not keep the computer up for more than about 5 minutes before it bosd or freezes.

Most of the stuff I had read is useless, because it involves downloading the the latest gfx drivers or win updates, but it dies before it has chance to do either, any help or advice would be much appreciated
 
Hi, the only thing I managed to install before it dies is the lan adaptor, will have a look at 2, could remove the gfx card I guess and run the onboard, will try and download latest bios version without it dieing, have not tried to see how long it lasts in safe mode, will come back in a bit, thanks
 
Reinstall win ain't to bad off a USB 3 stick

I have been in safe mode and all was good, gfx card out did not help, as the onboard hdmi on the Mobo was not out putting a display, Mem test came back OK, I am just downloading latest bios
 
Try booting into safe mode and see if it still crashes. To do so, on the login screen, click restart while holding shift then select safe mode with networking.

It is stable in safe mode, I have also tried a different gfx card, and have just don't a fresh install of Windows, but still freezes or bsod when In normal mode
 
Bios settings are on default, memtest came back clear, gpu is using Microsoft drivers atm
 
Think I am going to rebuild my old computer later, and throw this one out of the window lol
 
Well thanks for all the help guys, but I have admitted defeat and taken it to my local pc shop, would seem long gone my days of being able to sort these things out myself
