Hey guys !

I’m getting all kind of bsod errors and game crash on my system.

I tried below things in order narrow the trouble shooting

  • I disabled XMP

  • Updated OS windows 10

  • Re-install OS

  • Updated Bios

  • install updated chipset

  • drivers updated
I also managed to get my friend pc and swap some of the parts and test. His PC is working without any issue.

  • Swapped PSU

  • Swapped motherboard

  • Swapped SSD

  • Swapped GPU

  • Swapped RAM “QVL”
Still after managing to do all the above trials, still system is crashing games and bsod is showing.

The only way I managed to fix the game crashing & bsod is by setting in bios XMP ON and run all core 4.1 GHz on 1.305V. After manually tuning the vcore and clocks, system started to work fine and I have never saw any Bsod or game crash.

I ran prime95 for 1H and aida 64 for 6H with zero errors with temps max. 75 Deg c.

By doing all this trials, I have come to notice that the only hardware remaining is the CPU. Could it be the one causing all this issues? i have never imagined that the CPU might be the main cause since it's the last part that i have not swapped?

Did any one faced same like this issue before?

can you share your thoughts? ideas? recommendations?

by the way, i have ordered a 3700x and it will arrive tomorrow.

I will keep updating.

Part List:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black 55 CFM CPU Cooler
Motherboard: Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE ATX AM4 Motherboard
Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8 GB GAMING Video Card
Power Supply: Corsair HX 850 W 80+ Gold
 
I've known 2 3600's (well one 3600 and one 3600X) to have faulty memory controllers that would cause random BSOD. The 3600 was intermittent and would only happen when my mate was playing games but my OH's 3600X would crash within 15 mins randomly.

Once both were RMA'd and refitted there were no issues.

its hard when it comes to cpu especially when its difficult to identify the issue in the system. i have swapped almost all of the hardware to finally can point out that its time for cpu replacement. i will try the 3700x that i have ordered and feed you back if the system will become stable. thanks for the comment bruh.
