You've got an unlocked motherboard/CPU. If you plan on overclocking, I'd recommend a bit bigger power supply. Not because 750 watts isn't enough, but because 850-900 will handle it more efficiently. It will make less heat in your case, so you can push a tiny bit farther, and save the life of...

I see. Did anything happen to the card/motherboard about the time this started? Any major bumps, power outages, etc?

I have this issue almost every time I change where my OS sits. The easiest way to fix it is to get a windows USB key and reinstall windows on the new drive. You can get the turn any 8GB usb into a key with the software here if you don't already have one. Then just make sure your BIOS is set to...

Which Ryzen 3? I'm assuming one of the APU's since there's no discrete graphics. Either way, it kind of depends a bit on what you're doing. For gaming, I'd take the athlon with the 1050ti. The GPU in the 1050ti outdoes the APU's built in graphics by miles. Productivity, I'd use the Ryzen 3. More...

You might get a bit CPU bottlenecked, but the GPU should be supported. Only recommendation is that I would go with 2 sticks of RAM instead of one. If you're only needing 16, do 2x8 GB modules so you can run in dual channel and get a lot better use of your memory.

You might want to check your clock speeds on individual cores as well (Ryzen master actually has a pretty simple GUI for this). Most CPU's set to stock will only boost on a couple of cores to save on thermals, where as manually overclocked processors will keep that speed on all cores all the...

It's a BSOD coming fom the CPU itself, which could be related to the undervoltage. What CPU are you using?

Boost the picture resolution, add more shadows, better textures, etc. Putting more of the workload on the GPU will put less on the CPU. Also, would recommend at least 16 GB of RAM.

I had that issue when I upgraded my GPU from AMD to NVIDIA. Press windows key and x at the same time, and open device manager. Drop down the arrow that says "display adapters", right click each that shows up in that list, and update the drivers (you'll need an internet connection). Don't waste...

I'll go out on a limb and guess you're meaning for your SSD/HDD. And yeah, they usually don't come with cables. Your motherboard should have had a couple unless you bought it refurbished. For that one, you just need SATA data cables, and you can find those anywhere. If you mean power cables...

TL/DR AT THE BOTTOM I've got two different answers for you, depending on your situation. 1. Only between those three, and your budget isn't going to get bigger any time soon? The 750ti will give you the best performance, as it's the newest of the three, and has the highest specs. It's not...
