So I recently just did a new system build (my first) and I’ve run into some issues.

The build

Windows 10 (couldn’t get windows 7 to work)
Asrock AB350M
Ryzen 7 1700
Giel evo potenza 16Gb (2x8) ddr4
Zotac Mini GTX 1060 6gb
Corsair 650m PSU

The issues I’m having are lots of freezing (audio plays for a bit, video is frozen), black screen (audio sometimes stays, random restarts. I’ve also noticed that sometimes when I go to do a restart it doesn’t fully shut down? As in power stays on.

I did a fresh install of windows 10 multiple times with usb fall creators install. I’ve tried reseating ram and swapping spots, currently in a1 b1. I’ve done all windows updates, and run trouble shooter. I’ve looked for corrupted files and ran computer repair. I’ve made sure all drivers are updated with driver booster 5 or directly from manufacture website. I’ve tried to move the gpu to different slot, and checked seating of it and cpu.

I’m kinda just frustrated right now! I want to use this damn thing but it won’t let me finish one pubg game half the time!

Thanks in advance,

Zack

Replaced the Mobo with a Gigabyte AB350 Gaming 3 yesterday and have had zero problems. The other Mobo must have had issues with the Video card or just defective in some way....

Thanks to all that helped out during this! See ya in game!

Question from zack.fournier : "New Ryzen 7 and Windows 10 issues"

So I am still having issues with my new build.

Ryzen 7 1700
Asrock 350m Pro 4
Windows 10
Gskill 16gb (2x8) on the QVL
Corsair 650m
Zotac Mini 1060 6gb

I have done a fresh windows install and tried to update windows but having lots of issues. Im running the 3.30 bios on the Mobo. Ive checked to make sure all my drivers are updated as well. Im running the ram at 2133 in slot A2 and B2 since some thought this might help.

The computer boots and runs but constantly locks up or freezes. No BSOD just frozen. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes sometimes less. Not really sure what other things I should check.

The windows updates are now causing an error 0x8007000d and the update trouble shooter does not resolve the issue.

Thank you,

Zack

What are your CPU temps under load? Are you using the Ryzen Power Settings in Windows

Are you overclocking? If so, clear the CMOS and start over. It could be an unstable overclock.
