Hi all,
I upgraded from an I5 Z170 build to an MSI B450M Mortar Max and Ryzen 5 5600x and I've been experiencing some really strange crashes, the upgrade firstly looked like it went off without a hitch, I flashed the BIOS, the system posted and then booted into windows, I then decided to benchmark the system and stress test it, this is where the problems began, running 3Dmark would sometimes run perfectly with 0 issues and other times it would cause the benchmark to crash and return a simple "an error occurred" message, no other information, other games such as dirt 2.0 would sometimes run with no issue, other times black screen crash to desktop, even streaming video caused the PC to crash requiring me to power off and restart, I looked in windows reliability viewer and it showed a Kernel 141 error which after googling it, looked to be related to my GPU (GTX 1060 6GB).
after doing hours of trouble shooting, using DDU to uninstall the old drivers, reflashing the BIOS, reinstalling windows on a formatted SSD and even trying out an old GPU I still had the same problem, in fact, after a fresh install of windows, the crashes were more frequent I could not solve these crashes.
The only way I could get rid of the issue was by reinstalling my old motherboard and CPU, so far I've had 0 issues and all my games/programs run fine, so, I'm convinced it is the motherboard or CPU causing the crashes, does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, I've been scratching my head for the past 2 days trying to work out how to fix it, before I submit an RMA request does anybody know why I'm having these problems and if so, how can I fix them?

)but like I said, going back to my intel mobo and CPU the problem goes away, I've never seen anything quite like it.
