Since then, I have assumed my motherboard (ASUS ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING) needed a bios update in order to use my CPU (AMD Ryzen 5 3600), so I requested and received a temporary boot kit from AMD to manually update...

    [SOLVED] Frequent problems on a newly built PC

    I recently built a new budget gaming rig and I am sure I built it correctly as I was able to install Windows 10 64-bit and use the PC whenever it "permitted" to do so (for 2-3 hours at max before hanging/BSOD). The configuration is as follows:- AMD Ryzen 5 2400G Processor ASUS EX-A320M-GAMING...
