Guys I need some advice please. Got the following system that I purchased second hand and I'm having mega issues with it playing warzone, game keeps crashing randomly now I don't believe this is a game issue.I was thinking about buying a new motherboard & psu.

What mortherboard would I be best getting

cpu-ryzen 7 5800x

ram- corsair ddr4 3600MHz 4 x 8gb

mortherboard- x570 aorus ultra am4

gpu- nvidia geforce rtx 3080

Psu corsair RM850X

What are your temperatures when playing? I would be inclined to check the whole system as you didn't put it together. It may have dust, a bad connection, motherboard bios option not correct, driver issues or thermal paste that isn't doing it's job. Have a look at things like that and a clean install of windows.

Ryzen, be tempted to make sure the ram is not at fault before buying anything. Run memtest first off.

This.

If it's only in one game its not hardware.

As above, start with mem test, if no errors show up then a complete clean install it the O/S is a good idea, especially if you bought it used.

I noticed it is 4 x 8GB, I'd also remove 2 of the RAM modules after the memory test, and then repeat the process, assuming it failed.
