Hey,
I picked up a R5 1600 + MSI B450 Pro-Vdh Plus + 2x8GB HyperX RAM a few days back to replace my old 2500K system. Plugged it in and it booted right into Windows (1809), no reinstall needed. Ran my games and some benchmarks w/o any issues.
Then I decided to install a fresh copy of 1903 and its been nothing but freezes, reboots and BSODs ever since. So far I've got BSODs for rt640x64.sys, dpc watchdog violation and kmode exception not handed. I've installed all the latest drivers from my board's page but no luck.
Also, when I try creating a bootable USB with any previous version of Windows, Media Creation Tool fails at around 50% whereas Rufus outright crashes the PC or gives me this error. I've also got a bunch of USB device not recognized errors even though the drive in question works fine at other times.
Running sfc /scannow throws the "Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them" error. Even ran the DISM command but it didn't help.
Best part is I managed to install Steam and get my previously installed copy of Just Cause 3 working. Ran it for about half an hour, no problems. But use Chrome/Edge or other apps like Photos, and it randomly freezes/restarts when its not stuttering and lagging like hell.
What driver or fix do I have to use to solve this? Will going back to 1809 or even 1803 help? I am at my wits end trying to find a solution and I could really use some help.
PS: Even though its tied to my MS account, my Pro retail key doesn't work anymore when I try reactivating it using the Troubleshooter.
