Hello,
I have a real strange issue that I can't seem to find a solution or a cause for the problem. Built a new PC and was able to boot up without a problem. Bios loaded, then installed a fresh windows 10 copy using USB boot. Then spent the next couple of hours installing the latest graphic drivers, motherboard drives, games and etc. Even played games for about an hour.
Then I tried to overclock the CPU a little as I've seen others overclock the new 1600 AF to 4.0 GHZ and higher. Didn't go much higher from 3.2ghz to 3.5 ghz and booted up fine. Tried 3.7ghz with a little bump in voltage and that's when it appears problems started. I was able to see the bios load and then after that, the computer stays on with fan running but the monitor turned off as it displayed the lost signal screen. Waited for a while to see if PC loaded but it didn't. So I restarted and same thing happens. Computer keeps running but monitor shows loss of signal. Then usually the windows automatic repair tool shows up to fix something, but never works. So I reset bios to default, removed all overclocking attempts, and restarted but still nothing no change.
Eventually installed windows 10 fresh from USB again. Went through installation fine and about 10 min in, same thing happens. Screen turns off as it displays loss of signal while the computer stays on, with fan running. Can't do anything so restart, and then same issue. Windows doesn't load after bios and monitor turns off due to loss of signal.
Went through windows re-install about 4 times now and all similar situations. About 10-20 minutes after windows installation, the monitor turns off due to loss of signal and computer is unresponsive.
Here are my computer specs:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 16000 AF (12nm)
Motherboard: Asrock B450M Pro4
Graphics: Geforce 1650 Super
Memory: G-skill Ripjaws V DDR4 3200
HD; Crucial MX500 250GB SSD
Could it be an issue with the motherboard? But I don't seem to have an issue re-installing fresh windows... It just always keeps going non-responsive afterwards.
Ran Memtes86 to check RAM and it came out okay.
SSD Issue?
I'm at a loss here and I don't know what to check now. Any advice?
