Hello. My name's Joe Pizzurro. I haven't had to ask a tech question online for almost 10 years but here I am, hoping I wont be buying a B450 to start tinkering further.
I had an asrock x370 fatality gaming x, 16gb of kingston hyper x 3200, ryzen 5 2600x and a rx 5700. (All was good)
I gave my GPU to my father in law for his mining rig and he gave me a ryzen 5 3400g (What a trade LOL but new in box) but it did require me to flash up to BIOS 5.5 (Max AsRock told me my CPU is supported for). ( I did try other BIOS versions with same issue)
After rebooting into Arch I had to rename the LAN adapter in configs, it had changed names, no further issues. In Windows however, intensive games were crashing the Network adapter with an error, followed by the error 43, could not start (Reboot and all was good). I tinkered around with a reinstall of Windows, removing every overclock from Bios, Stopped the Core boost, auto overclock, ram overclocks, ran it manually set to 3700 with 1.4v, all the same issue, no matter what speed I chose for the ram also. Now I'm back on Auto everything works fine until I game for a while (No its not temp related) or run a certain prime95 test. The ram did pass memtest, waste of 3 hours lol. I tried different Lan/GPU drivers followed by underclocks on cpu/ram for every combination I could find. I've spent a week of nights trying to diagnose this. Lan drivers from the MOBO download page, newer lan drivers, microsoft drivers, the all in one driver they have to download, new and old GPU drivers incase its an APU issue....
I do use Grub as my boot loader but symptoms are same using windows directly, grub still launches windows boot loader when chosen, not just windows directly.
Quickest way to reproduce the error is running Prime95 with Large FFTs (Stresses Memory Controller and RAM) -Other tests I dont seem to be having this issue.
This does break windows for me, as I only use it for gaming and its only breaking during gaming.
Heres specs and I'll give some pics and attach pics last of what I'm experiencing.
Asrock x370 Fatality Gaming X
Ryzen 5 3400g
16gb DDR4 Kingston HyperX(Fury) 3200
750W EVGA PSU (In Basement Pulling air from bottom, exhausting to back)
Samsung 970 Evo (WIndows) M.2 NVME
Kingston SA400M8120G (Arch/Grub) M.2 SATA
2x Western Digital Blue 1TB SSD
Corsair H100I 240MM 2x Corsair ML120 fans set to Performance (Intake Fans/Front) and BIOS controlled, pump set to full speed
2x Corsair ML120MM and 1x Corsair ML140mm (Exhaust/Top/Rear)
Currently running XMP2/2936 (Rumored sweet spot for this APU)
EDIT: Going to have to upload photos elsewhere, cant find the attach button anymore.
Crashed while finding a site to upload the pics on.
Showing Semi-Idle
Full Load (Small FFT Test) - Still OK
Full Load (Large FFT Test) - Crashed 1 second before Screenshot (Not network bottom right and missing adapter)
Error Code after crash (Happened searching online this time)
