I'm back with an update! After chasing about I decided to RMA the CPU as nothing was forthcoming on debugging side. I was lucky enough to cobble together a PC from my old parts to tide me over during the process. AMD replaced the CPU, installed it and no more crashes! Thanks for all the help...

Doubt the edge update is the cause. I'd look into trying a different PSU if possible. Maybe yours if not providing a smooth low voltage for idle use.

Yeah I've asked on AMD forum if there is anything to that. I may give it a go. If it works then I can sort out a return on the CPU for one that can boost properly

I'm curious can you view your windows update history and correlate that back to when the crashes started for you? See here

Thoughts on windows update theory? -> Reddit Note: made link as preview of reddit post was stupid long.

When did your issue reappear? Might be a similar issue to me. My issue started mid december, Reddit has theory that a recent windows update caused an issue for some Ryzen chips View: https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/kpjmqf/bluescreen_every_couple_of_hours_ntoskrnlexe/ Not sure if I...

I'll post there after work. Appreciate all your efforts! Probably not PSU BSOD on a different supply, I left youtube on autoplay while getting a sandwich and came back to a reset PC

Well; I just decided on my latest BSOD to take a break from work and fired up safe mode and crashed without a blue screen by playing some youtube videos. So think I have a hardware fault. I will put off the GPU firmware update as in safemode my main display wasn't used and only secondary DVI...

Shot in the dark; as I was getting repeatable crashes within 15 minutes on youtube with driver verifier enabled I thought I would check one module in each slot. To see if there was an issue with memory controller or dimm slots. Found out that my 1060 has a firmware update for display port 1.3 /...

Well good to know I'm not the only one but sadly this is increasingly looking like hardware for me. I'm just trying to make a shortlist. With driver verifier on I can crash chrome pretty quickly (assuming it is not throwing false positives). I tested just a single ram stick in each slot...

Just had another crash so it isn't fixed, wont bother uploading as it was a massive hang then DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION tidied up so not going to know the culprit there.

OK, so those suggested tests didn't throw anything up. I had disabled ethernet and have gone back to the wifi card to at least rule out some components of the MB. Still had a BSOD sadly the main dump was corrupted, and no minidump. I have a 500W Silverstone PSU I can possibly try but as this...

BT is a cheap and cheerful USB adapter; I've not actually been using it - been using jacked headphones as they are lighter but that is what it was purchased for. Mainly plugged in so I don't lose the ah heck...

I'm already on AMD Ryzen High Performance - think I always have been

I'll get working on those this evening and report back; although the PSU paperclip test is useless I don't have a multimeter and the PC wouldn't power on if the PSU didn't. SSD - I have run magician it is ok, I also checked other drivers and tried with data drives removed. Although as crashes...
