Here is the original thread I made in memory, cause I initially suspected that as being the issue.
Last thing suggested was to replace my 7+ years old power supply. I did that, and the problem stll persists. Here are my new components:
Ryzen 7 2700X
G.Skilll Ripjaws V 2400, 8X2
Asus Prime B450-Plus Systemboard
Seasonic FOCUS Plus Series - 650W Gold
Quick recap: I had this same issue on the original systemboard and memory I had gotten. I returned those for a different board and memory. Same issue. Then I changed out the power supply rather than exchange the CPU.
I haven't had any issues in BIOS or when Windows is being installed. But once into Windows and I start installing drivers / programs, it locks up within 10 minutes. Sometimes (as in this most recent time) it gives Window 10 version of BSOD giving a clock_watchdog_timeout error. Which is supposed to be related to incorrect overclocking, but all I do is apply profile 1 to get the memory to correct 2400 speed (and this issue also happens if I leave it at the initial 2133 speed).
Incidentally, I can put my old systemboard, processor and memory in and everything is fine. I had Windows installed on it for the week I was waiting for the power supply with no issues.
The only thing left to do is to replace the processor, in case I got a bad one. I really don't want to have to return something else, so if would greatly appreciate anything else I can try.
