New Ryzen CPU plus motherboard causing some games to crash during gameplay

[ericschf9]

Hi all,
I recently fried my old board with an ESD so I decided to upgrade. With a clean install of windows 10, my PC now tends to just crash desktop after some gameplay in a couple of games. I have had no problem playing Blizzard titles for a good chunk of time, while stuff like DOOM crashes in the menus or Hitman which does as soon as the gameplay starts. I'm just unsure if I should go buy a windows 10 key, format the drives completely or is some other component the issue here

Any help would be appreciated.

System spec

• 
  Windows 10 64 bit
  AMD Ryzen 5 1500x
  MSI 970
  8 GB DDR4 Ram
  250 GB Samsung SSD
  1TB External Drive
  750W PSU

So...you upgraded from Win7 to Win10? That shouldn't be an issue. Maybe try using DDU to remove your GPU drivers and then reinstall them from scratch?

Also, ouch, fried via electro-static discharge...(VIDEO LINK)

I had upgraded years ago from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 with that free offer to do so. I also tried using the DDU yesterday to remove the drivers, still ran into problems. Could my graphics card also be faulty now? Or is it the new board I bought?

Is that the same GPU you had previously?

Is the gpu new? If not test it in another system and see if it works fine. Also check your event viewer and see what errors come up at the time your games crash, I've recently bought a ryzen build and I'm suffering from constant nvlddmkm.sys crashes in all games and sometimes just when watching video and I've been through 2 gigabyte ab350 boards and then I bought an asus x370 prime and I'm still having the same issues, I've even tried an old 560ti and that produces the same crashes, I think some systems just seem to be suffering from NVidia driver issues with the new ryzen architecture
