Ok, I definitely did not do the steps perfectly in order then, I did windows update then chipset bios flash and gpu drivers , I didnt even download LAN or Audio yet, would I need to do it all over again or would an issue be rare from my approach?

Ive had some black screens which I believe are gpu driver related so Ive decided to clean install windows 10 and start fresh in case there are some corrupted reg files. What is the best practice after the clean install to manually install the gpu drivers? Is it bad to install /update the chipset...

Any thoughts anyone?

Amd vega 56 Temps are around 75 while in game last time i looked at motherboard, no error light so no idea what is going on

Having black screens while gaming with super high fan speed inside case. Cannot do anything but hard reset computer to get out of the situation. Ive updated chipset drivers, bios and have done ddu uninstall of gpu drivers with reinstall of latest. What else could be causing this issue? Ive heard...

Thanks Darkbreeze for all the pointers, I'm picking up a new motherboard today. Decided this is a good time to upgrade with a new case (its 10 years old). I'll let you know how everything goes.

Sorry, I keep having more questions. Is there anything I can do to check the power supply is not the issue? if i resolve that as well and get the new board that would mean it has to be the gpu like you are saying also, im a little confused on what screws go with the 6-32 standoffs? Would...

Thank you for the help. This has been such an annoying issue but ive learned alot from it

Its hard to isolate and test for the issue as it happens normally after an extended time gaming (multiple hours) or if I leave a game on, I will notice hours later that the system froze. Ive never received a notification through coretemp that the cpu is overheating. Weve tested the DRAM and HDD...

Would you say its a low risk that a damaged component could mess up a new board? Seems the most cost effective approach is to get the new standoffs installed and a new board and take the risk if its low

I think this is the issue. What I mean is I have 6 standoffs currently installed that line up perfectly. The last column of three standoffs does not exist on the outside (it was a mini not micro atx on first build) but they line up perfectly if I were to install standoffs there. it appears I...

Unfortunately my mobo passed the bench testing after re-attaching all components in order. Inspection of the motherboard shows no damage to pins on the board and also the cpu has no bent pins. AM4 slot is ok and the capacitors do not show bulging or leaking of fluid. Its possible that my case...

I bought a new one unfortunately instead of RMA back when I was having problems and replacing parts which is why this has been so frustrating. Its also why Im concerned Im doing something wrong during installation. Not sure what I could have done to damage it though as I said Ive been careful

Looks like I'll have to try and pursue the RMA to avoid having to pay for a new product. As a general question, how easy is it to damage these motherboards when installing them into a case? For example, I was not reckless at all and was careful as I could be when putting this thing in. This...

Didn't fix it, problem happened again earlier. I saw the DRAM light was on the motherboard when it froze. I already have tested my RAM with memtest. Is it possible the test is not catching an issue with the RAM that happens while gaming?
