It's not going to take 20 years. All the Chinese students that studied in American universities for the past 20 years have gone home and taken all their notes with them. I'll be surprised if it takes another five years.

Full system: Ryzen 3900X Asrock X470 Taichi m/b Gigabyte Radeon 5700XT video Windows 10 64 bit The problem showed on the BIOS 3.43 version, which said the Ryzen 3 was "supported." I took a chance and upgraded to the latest, 3.90, and the problem seems to have stopped.

That's good to know - I was freaking out about the temps on my new 3900X, I feel a little better now.

OK, Folding is up and running! This is awesome because now I have a justifiable reason to get a Ryzen 9 3900X.

You're not supposed to fold the hardware! ;-)

Well, I got it working with a DisplayPort to DVI adapter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0098HVXXY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 AMD has certainly burned a bridge with me, this was a lot harder to get working than they made it seem in all their "Runs up to six monitors!"...
