I just upgraded my rig with a new Ryzen 3600 and B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC mobo. RAM is2x8 GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 3000 MHz, running and 2933 MHz. GPU is GTX 1080 Ti.
I had some problems with the initial boot up after installing MSI's updated BIOS using a USB, but overall it went smoothly enough. I was enjoying the system without issue for a few days, but two days ago the whole system crashed and wouldn't boot back up right away. I'm not overclocking the CPU or anything, just letting the it run on defaults. I had to wait 5 - 10 minutes for it to boot again after doing a power down using the PSU switch. If I tried to boot sooner, the CPU LED for the EZ Debug came on. That was while I was playing Anthem, so I thought maybe it was linked to the game. Unfortunately, last night while playing ME: Andromeda, the same thing happened, though I was able to play a lot longer.
One thing I was thinking--was I supposed to download drivers from AMD? I didn't do this originally, but did last night and was thinking maybe that was a problem. Anyways. after I downloaded them (I think, it just downloaded the Master Utility) I ran the stress test in gaming mode and the temps and everything else seemed to pass just fine.
So is it most likely that my computer crashed from:
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So is it most likely that my computer crashed from:
- Poor BIOS implementation from MSI, and I'll need to wait for another update for improved stability?
- Lack of installing the Master Utility / Drivers (?) from AMD?
- Buggy Bioware games? (though I've previously played through ME:A twice without issue)?
- Something else?
Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
