Alright, so i am running a GTX 1060 6gb, ryzen 3 2200g, 16gb ram and a 500w evga bronze psu.
I bought a ryzen 5 3600 and it came in yesterday so I went ahead and updated my BIOS using EZ Flash 3 via USB in the bios settings.
After a successful installation, I put the new CPU in, fire up the computer, go to BIOS and immediately there is when I first see the green pixels/lines on my screen.
The cursor was moving at a horrible framerate as well in the bios screen. So then i go check out what its like on my desktop. Same thing, green pixels. It had swapped my resolution from 1920x1080 to 1650x1200, and when I tried 1920x1080 60hz it was WAY worse, like a tube TV with all the fuzz.
After this disappointing outcome, I went ahead and put the old CPU back in, and then everything was back to normal, no green pixels etc, and was able to run at 1920x1080 at 75hz.
Is my new CPU using more power and therefore my GPU is now not getting enough?
