Sounds like another case of the bad Ryzen motherboard.

if it happening only when you gaming? then it would be because of having a weak power supply... change it check before moving to the motherboard.

I have a corsair cx550m 550 watt 80+ bronze psu, likely the same one he has, and it will happily power that system. Some psu review sites have tested that ia is more like 80+ gold efficiemt and can deliver over 600 watts before tripping current limitors. There is always a possibility that that psu is faulty. What are your temps looking like in that system? If you do not know you can load your system with the free trial of aida 64 and moniter temps with the free program cpuid hw moniter. High temps and or unstable power delivery can cause crashing in games. Also, check that all overclocked components, if any, are stable. An unstable oc can also cause crashes.

Change out the PSU with a better quality unit.

Stress test your CPU with Prime95 ans see if it crashes. Also post back what your temps are.
If it doesn't crash after running for an hour then Stress test the GPU with either Unigine Heaven Benchmark or Furmark. Post back with temps while stress testing.

Im not sure whats wromg with thay psu. A 1060 and 2600 do not need any beter psu

 

[mgallo848]

At this point he needs to stress test his system before we can figure out if it's a hardware issue or just a temperature issue

What evidence do people have to say the PSU is bad or inadequate?

My failure rate on Ryzen boards for the past year is 50%. 3 out of 6 boards failed. DOA, random crashes, random hangs, etc. Did not matter one lick which brand either. I had to swap out multiple board multiple times, and once you get a good board, it is solid.

BTW this is not the first time I've seen people talk about this kind of random failure on these forums, and more than half the time, they do all the stuff, and eventually swap out the mobo and then the problem finally goes away.

I had problems with my ryzen motherboard with only half ram working. I got a new mobo and it fixed it. Ryzen boards didnt always work right, however countless bios updates and ryzen maturing, ryzen is stable.

All 3 of mine have worked/still working without issues.

 

[NightHawkRMX]

I havent heard of many issues since ryzen matured, other than my experience firsthand.

So far I've built somewhere around 12 to 15 Ryzen systems for coworkers and haven't had a single issue with any of them.
